Critical Mass

by Spidercat

/
1.
Five years asteroid mining Far beyond the Ceres line Indentured to the company In debt to work my time Space no friend to human flesh It's so easy to die I can't believe I was so naïve When I swallowed their lies. We've got to get out, we've got to go. Abandon Ship, Abandon all we know. Critical mass, about to blow. Can we escape? Can the pod save our souls? Reactor officer passed away Must be two months ago Captain stoned in his cabin High on Mars weed, we know Backup systems off-line Cooling rods do corrode Rusty valve was all it took Let the reactor explode We've got to get out, we've got to go. Abandon Ship, Abandon all we know. Critical mass, about to blow. Can we escape? Can the pod save our souls?

I open my eyes and see, paradise surrounding me. A beach next to a gentle sea. An ancient rock, a hollow tree. The beautiful people smile, invite me to spend a while. To share their fruit and wine. To love and laugh, to forget time. The pod lies broken on the sand. It served it's purpose well. We've got to get out, got to go. Abandon ship, Abandon all we know. Reactor Core, about to blow. Can we escape? Can the pod save us? With our gift of life, Can death evade us? Or will we die, In a supernova cloud. Scattered to the stars, never to be found.
