Impact (2016)
Impact
“The stairs are the worst, steep enough almost to be ladders. The sound of their footsteps is dulled, buried by other noises.
He tries to keep track of where they’re going. But exhaustion and cold prick at his mind, dulling his thoughts as they descend deeper into the ship.
He’s furious at himself. He should have seen this coming. If it hadn’t been for the storm and the need to get to safety, he would have. He’s even more furious at the Earthers. How could they have thought things were OK down h...ere? How could they have been so unprepared?
Without wanting to, he thinks of Outer Earth, of Riley and his parents, of his hab and his office in the Air Lab. We should have stayed there, he thinks. We should have tried harder to stop the Earthers from leaving.
Carver is still reeling from the blow to his stomach, and has to stop more than once. The second time, it’s to throw up. He hunches over, hands on his knees, vomiting a thin, watery gruel.
The corridor explodes with cruel laughter.MoreLess
