Journey to Centauri : Episode 1 "Captain." Shapes. Shadows, hovering over him. A sense of threat, darkness eclipsing his vision, and the distant sound of warning claxons. He tried to lift his hands and could not, tried to speak and his throat turned to fire. A deep cold pressed down on him, crushing his bones to ice. "this one...hurry" The voice again. More movement, seen through layers of frost and glass. I am the Captain came his next thought, sharp and coherent. I should be first.... The ship. The mission. Someone, unauthorized, moving around out there. A wave of dizziness washed over him and his vision blurred into a sea of blue, with red lights flashing in the distance. He could feel the ship shaking beneath him. "We move..." A shadow passed over him. He closed his eyes and waited for the ship to release him from his forty year sleep.
Next episode will be posted June 8th.
