I am weightless, I am isolated, I am alone. I let the darkness embrace me. I feel its cold caress deep in my soul. It wraps its cold tendrils around me. feel myself slowly disintegrating into nothingness. In that moment I disappear. I no longer exist. I am one with the universe.

Then I open my eyes.

As I emerge from the darkness, I see the gems of the Gods. The sheer size of the universe before me makes me feel insignificant. A tiny speck of dust in a desert that spans to infinity.

I laugh at myself. I think too much. way too much. I tap vector commands into the keypad on my gloves. The computer processess my commands and instantly my jetpack turns me a hundred and eighty degrees. Midway I access the life support systems and turn it off. 

total silence.

Im at the dark side of the earth. It's night time on this side but even then you could see the footprints of man. Footprints would be a great understatement. the entire surface has become a tangled mess of steel and concrete. When Im on the daylight side the sky is always covered with dark clouds, A remnant of the war a hundred years past. But here, on the night shift, It is absolutely beautiful. Billions of city lights make the earth look like a galaxy trapped on a little glass orb.

I  am insignificant. I am nothing in this universe. This is the last time I will see it.

My vision is fading now. As my mind is deprived of oxygen, I start to see the "light".

one more minute and I'll know what it's like.

one more minute and I'll see her again.

then it happens, I see her silhoette against the light. She becomes more vivid as she floats closer to me. I see her now. she reaches out for me.  

a part of me still holds on. But she's so close now. I could smell her perfume. she's my angel.

I let go.

"warning. warning. sensors indicate oxygen level at zero percent. bypassing overide command. reactivating life support. initiating heating systems. sensors detect cardiac arrest. Itiating revival systems. Defibrilator online. administering shock. 3. 2. 1. "

as I reach for her hand something grabs me from behind. something cold. something dead.  I look behind me, I try to see it, but I can only see darkness. Absolute darkness.

somehow I know what it is. I know what is behind the shadow.

I fight back. I struggle against it. Its stronger than me. It wants to live. suddenly it lets go and instantly I desperately reached for her.

she grabs hold of my hand, but its already cold. Her dress is stainded  crimson red -blood her stomach ripped wide open, her intestines like snakes reaching for my neck. I look at her face, the face I loved for so long, I wanted to know, why is she doing this. What I saw froze my blood,where her face once was there was a gaping hole. I could see right through her head. still I could see her jaw move, I could hear her voice, so grotesque, calling for me. She's waiting for me. She loves me. She wants to fuck me. she wraps her arms around me. I could feel her nipples erect behind the crimson dress. Her breast pressed against my chest but I could feel no life there, no heartbeat, no love. She's dead. she spreads her legs exposing her cunt- no in place of her cunt was another mouth its cold tongue furiously licking my member.  I enter her and I feel cold fire engulf me. Destroying me from the inside. She is hell. From her there is no escape. Again, I let go.

total darkness.

I hear the soft voice of the suits "betty". the computers' voice reminds me of someone. 

"life support system stabilized"

"Life signs stable"

"Activating beacon"

"searching for reply... please stand by"

"response found"

"identifying vessel Id. Vessel identified. Prometheus."

"Stand by for communications link."

I hear a voice calling me. a man. I can feel his age on his voice. His voice reminds me of my father.

"this is prometheus.. do you read me? listen were picking you up. Dont do anything stupid."
