A Universe of Wonders

[Tomtomrawr]

Axel's view flashed again, and suddenly he was aboard a ship. The intruder stood at his side once again, both of them holding arms behind their backs as they walked through the winding corridors of the ship. It was a freighter, Axel knew. He remembered seeing it, a Humpback, as he was wheeled in on a stretcher. All he had been able to move at the time were his eyes, was all he could remember. Straps and buckles had prevented any movement of limbs which could cause harm to personnel nearby.

Axel and the intruder moved to the side as Axel was wheeled past, a number of armed escorts moving in front and following behind. A doctor pushed the stretcher into the medical bay, Axel and the intruder following behind to observe the scene.

'Is the injection ready, Doctor?' A guard asked the doctor, who was flicking a needle in preparation of injecting its content.

'Ja, I think so. No reason to keep him awake now. We can plug in the monitoring equipment once he's under.' These words, normally terrifying the individual about to be subjected to the injection and monitoring, did little to Axel. He had accepted a number of possibilities and had decided to go out with his dignity. The Axel on the stretcher did nothing to struggle. He did not even flinch. But that did not mean he was scared.

'You were scared, weren't you?' The intruder whispered into Axel's ear. 'I can tell, even from here. You were allowing your emotions to course through your body as you embraced your fate. Lying there, unmoving, for all of your life. Your muscles deteriorating, your short existence in this Universe being poured down the drain...'

'Enough!' Axel shouted, his voice booming in the small room. He sighed, and lowered his voice down to a normal level. 'Emotion is the reason mankind is driven toward a goal. Emotion controls us, whether we want to admit it or not. I embrace my emotions and my subconscious, because there is no avoiding it. It is a part of me. It is what drives me. I have never tried to avoid it and it is what drives me, so it is the logical path to take.'

Axel opened his eyes.

'Merry Christmas.' A voice said to him.
