Nickels and Nails

[Leo]

A few hours behind the brothers, they both flew in silence. Nails kept coming back to the same thing. Shan had been right in the assessment that no one was my friend in this world, the only person he could trust on was himself. It was a lonely life and Nails knew he was probably destined to be this way for a long time, even after his father had died. He knew, even now, that the Liberty dogs were scouring the cosmos for the two, but they didn't know where they were going.

"Contact. Bering zero-two-six mark five, Liberty destroyer. It's on an intercept course straight at us."

"Evasive manuvers."

"Josh Reynolds and Jessie Reynolds, stand down your engines and prepare to be detained."

"Not on my life!" Josh yelled and accerlated hard. "Jess, how far are we from that jumphole!"

"30K at least, we'll make it to the hole but it's not phase aligned, we may not come out where we intend to!"

"F*** it, do it anyway!"

The two came up on the hole, eyes wide. They jumped just as the hole destabalized, and were flung into the abyss.

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark.
