=== Death Crawl===
I awake… Darkness… Death… Destruction… I smell molten metal and ashen rubble. I raised my hands to my face and feel burned ravaged flesh. I'm blind but alive. Fear grips me, where am I? The name Skylark comes to mind, a massive ship filled with the last of the spirals wandering space looking for a new home. The Skylark crashed; I remember hearing loud alarms and panicked shouts. A piercing pain burns in my head as I began to feel my injuries. My legs are trapped under what seems to be a section of the hull. With great pain and effort I managed to lift the debris and free my legs. I examined my injuries further, bent and torched legs gone beyond recognition, burned eyes and a sprained wrist. Escape is my first priority, reaching forward into the unknown I slowly pull myself along the crumbling floor. One hand after another I inched forward. After what felt like an eternity I heard two distant voices. “This isn't good the main engine is completely blown, it will take a few years to repair,” said the first voice, worriedly. “A few years? We don't have that long! This blasted place is picking us off one by one!” said the second voice. “I'm sorry sir but since we don't have the necessary equipment or the materials at hand we can't repair it as fast as we'd like.”
Other spirals, hope floods into me, I attempt to yell but my voice is choked and raspy. Instead, I grabbed a metal panel and hit it with my fist.
“Shh… I heard something.”
“Sir, it's probably those wolf creatures again, we should head back to camp.”
NO! Panic gave me strength as I franticly hit the panel as hard as I could.
“They're getting closer, ready your sword.”
“Sir there are only two of us this isn't worth the risk”
I heard a reluctant grunt, a sheathing sword, and then fading footsteps as they left along with my hopes of being found. I closed my burned eyes in despair and gave in to the darkness.
I approve this.
