Still, forgetting about him was impossible and eventually I too decided to leave. A couple slaps to the wrist and life returned to the mundane and clockwork way it had always been with no complaints from me. I had taken the heat of his sudden departure and suffered some penalties for letting him go, but surprisingly it wasn’t as severe as I thought it would have been. It would take a year after watching him fly away, that I would realize I’d actually keep that promise. He didn’t ask me to come or even care if I did, but as the engine of his ship started, he made me promise that I come find him if I ever had the gall to leave. There was no way I could just leave like him and he understood that. I followed after him but only to say goodbye. A message that there was another planet out there with new and exciting things to discover, and even though no one was ever supposed to leave, he decided right then and there to go without even a second thought. In the dead of night, my eyes were glued to the out of place satisfaction on his face. Inside the shell of our spaceship, his knowledge would come to a standstill, and yet, he learned to fix that too.Įveryone was meant to be asleep, but he was wide awake eyes glued to a device that I still don’t know the name of. Soon, there would be nothing left to learn. From faulty ship parts to his own ship, there was nothing too complicated for him until he realized the complication within himself. Watching him take anything and make it something more blew my easily impressed mind. While he liked to tinker and learn as much as possible, I just sat back and watched. Or at least, I liked to think so.īut I was always a bit behind him in all honesty. Spending our days twisting to the machine, we eased the pain by sticking together. Engineered to obey and listen to what we were told, we never wanted to know. Out in the deep dark of space, we knew nothing about the world outside our shell of a spaceship.
