Entangled
“Cade would have to start at the bottom, though, to figure out how to get all the way up to space. She’d have to visit the only people she knew who had ever been there.
The spacesick bay was one of the largest buildings in Voidvil, a converted hangar from the days when humans had been cleared to pilot low-flying craft. It stood at the southern edge of town, cramped by weeds, painted the color of bandages.
Cade shuddered at the thought of the spacesicks’ glassed-and-gone eyes, their sweat-pasted ...skins. Spacesick had noticeable symptoms, and they marched in a predictable order—the glassy look, the utterly detached and voided calm, the absentminded touching. For the ones who hadn’t been in space long, it came in fits and starts. Those who had been exposed longest were completely adrift in their sickness, and didn’t know who they’d been before space claimed their minds—no names, no histories. Cade had never known about her past, so maybe she should have felt a kinship with them.MoreLess
