Found in Space

Originally for Boing Boing's link "Found in Space" microfiction dealio, which I didn't win link.

I expected many things when I was chosen as the first human being to experience FTL travel. Hardships, things going wrong. Hell, I even expected to die. What I hadn't expected was this. None of the 'scientists' who had instructed me and had tried to explain what an FTL drive actually does had seemingly known this was a possibility. Yet here I was. And so was I. Staring at one another.

“So, you broke through the dimensional rift in that thing?” I said.
“I guess I did.” I said to myself, glancing sideways to the smoldering FTL drive.
