In Another Life

just look the other way and i'll disappear forever

The open deck of the cruise ship is still a fairly cramped expanse—stairways and access points to the bowels and corridors are numerous, as are ladders over the edge, and a number of lifeboats provide potential cover. Elsewhere, benches and folding chairs create small circles suitable for conversation. From the deck, one can take in almost all of the flotilla with a little walking; only the clipper ship's crow's nest offers a higher vantage point.

The feeling of her eyelid on her eyelid. She'd almost said 'eyelids,' for a moment, but, y'know. No more depth perception. Didn't really matter anyway. She could still feel. She could still see.

She was still alive.

Still here.

For better or worse.

She tried, for a moment, to push Mary’s corpse off of her.

She could only do it for a moment, though. Everything still hurt. Everything still spun. Getting her arms into position to even try in the first place was a miracle in itself.

A voice speaks from Verity's collar, tired and resigned, no longer making any attempt to disguise its natural accent:

"Ah, you want my advice now? After ignoring it before got you into this. While you're still leaning on the words of a psychopath - who also, I must add, very much brought his fate on himself no matter how many justifications he invented in the end."



"Unfortunately, Miss Stewart, you and your teammates made your beds, and I cannot help you now from having to lie in them."


There is a long moment of dead air from the mic, though it has not clicked off. Then:

"All I can tell you now is good luck, and that if we are able to meet in person, I will do what I can to direct you to the help you really need. It's beyond what I can offer you here."



"Goodbye, Verity."

Click.

“Doesn’t really matter.

She laid there, under the corpse, for a bit. Put her hands behind her head. Stared at the ceiling as it slowly came back into focus.

It was almost kinda peaceful.
