Bridge

Llewellyn wasn’t sure if he was more in shock or just awed by the amount of blood that was flowing from his chest and darkening his already black uniform. He only felt its warmth as the liquid ran down his abdomen and back. The attack had come from the side and the mandibles of the creature picked him up wholly and pierced him from both sides. His left arm was crushed. The Captain had killed the Shentarian but she had to rip off its arm in order to get to its head.

She and McGregor then pulled the mandibles from his chest and laid him on the bridge floor.

Riker’s face was covered in his blood and the strange orange-yellow blood of the Shentarian. He was beginning to lose focus on her intense black eyes. “Mike!” she screamed. “Hang on!” she cried and he nodded to her but he was now beginning to feel cold. She had called for sickbay to beam him directly to trauma. The shimmering blue light appeared as the bloodied face of Riker disappeared from his sight.

It was then he thought of Janine. Visions of her beautiful blonde hair and luscious green eyes, her incredible body and her sweet, soft kisses began to seep into his thoughts. He would miss her and he was sorry he wouldn’t be able to say good-bye to her. The boys would be all right. He knew it. They were old enough now to understand the reason behind the loss. He was just sorry he wouldn’t live long enough to see them enter and graduate from the Academy; they had both made him very proud.

But Janine? Janine would be angry. Her and her stupid superstitions…why of all the times for him to get nailed by a Shentarian would it have to come after they had an argument? They always expressed their love before they ended transmissions…always.

Except this last time. He was too angry at her. She told him that she wanted to stay on the Ada Byron and he wanted her to consider the offer of
