Found in Space

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

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.

16/03/2010	Didn't want to lose Zach's comment, so here it is as it was posted when this story went up on Oblogata: Zachary Lewis said: I like this a lot. Are you going to keep us posted on the results of that boing-boing contest? Also... it wasn't until just now (even after 4 seasons of Battlestar) to realize what FTL stood for. -_-

Post a comment - keep it tidy!
