Reaping
“I can’t think of a time when I’ve been so physically exhausted and yet still so sleepless. It’s been a few weeks since the meeting when the Director decided I would lead the team instead of Eli. I talked to Eli afterward and we came to an understanding: I don’t want to lead the mission any more than he wants me to. Since then, though, he’s cooled off and refocused his energies on other side projects. Miah and I moved in to bunk with Eli and Firestone after the team was announced. We got one of ...the few rooms with hammocks, for which I’m grateful. There’s a lot less squeaking and groaning of rusted, bent springs. The rest of our team is now sleeping down the hall in one room, and my only consolation is that those cots are so narrow and flimsy, I’m pretty sure it would be physically impossible for Soren and Remy to share a bunk.I shove that mental image aside as quickly as it flashes though my mind.Miah sleeps like the dead, Firestone and Eli are both dead to the world with their faces squished against the hammocks in decidedly unattractive positions.MoreLess
