    Summary

    Stars danced across his vision, blurred and smudged like wet paint, broken glasses pressed uncomfortably against his face. He tried to gasp for air, but it was like his lungs just couldn’t inflate. He was winded, he vaguely understood, but he couldn’t think straight past the panic that pumped through his veins.

    Every attempt at breath felt like knives in his body, electricity shooting across his clavicle, pinpricks scattered his face, lightning down his spine. His body had never felt heavier, like the atmosphere had gotten denser, his limbs chained down.

    Flame burned in the distance, catching the corner of his vision. That couldn’t be good.

    or; Grace was just a little bit closer to the explosion at the space facility and ruins Stratt's backup plan.

    Summary

    “How far did he get?”

    “Almost touched the fence,” Carl says.

    “He was motivated,” Eva murmurs distantly. She is suddenly very tired.

    “Past tense already?”

    Eva flinches, feeling slapped in the face. No more coffees brought to her right as she starts to lag in the afternoon, no more bags of obnoxiously-colored candies hidden away in her pocket to slip to him, lest the vultures in the engineering department claim them all. No more staring at reports while he spins his chair around and talks about nothing, his voice soothing white noise to her after three years of hearing it practically nonstop. No more beers shared after a long day’s work, a brief respite before beginning another grueling day the next morning. It is all past tense now.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    Summary

    “Don't die,” Stratt says, still having not broken her stride. “At this point, that would be an inconvenience.”

    As soon as he thinks she's out of earshot, Grace leans in and stage whispers to Carl. “Did you hear?! I got a promotion! I’m an inconvenience!”

    -

    In the lead up to the launch of Earth's last ditch hope of salvation, Eva Stratt makes a few different decisions about what it means to be human in the face of the end of the world.
