Jeremy's worst day ever

[Jeremy Hunter]

"Many bear names others have given. Such is life."

Jeremy cracked a grin.

"I've spent forever on ships. I can tell. Inertia dampeners work, but I can still feel the movement. Or, I just decided to take a shot in the dark and see if I was right."

Jeremy followed, slinging his gun.

"Oh, don't intend,to kill me?
"

Jeremy frowned.

"Do tell me if you're going to infect me. And educate? I've learned way to much already..."

Jeremy tapped where Rika's picture was. He took a breath.

He would survive. For Rika, he would.

Jeremy found hinself dselling on the night Ellie had come into his room to apologise. He had layed awake, listening,to his siblings' breathing. He paced himself, remembering the sounds. He felt strength,return to his weary body, and he felt the dimming fires roar back to their old intensity.

Whoever said love is a useless emotiin should stick it.
