“Oblivion...” by Walter Harris

Submitted to Contest #243

I woke up coughing smoke out of my lungs.  Pain stretched over my entire body as I drifted, rotating weightlessly around an enclosed corridor.  My body was encased in a heavy layered suit of flexible aluminum that only left my head and neck exposed. Gravity devoid droplet's of blood danced about me slowly as a glass visored helmet made of the same suits material floated nearby.  “What... the hell.” I thought.

“You’re heavier than you look…” I strained to say as I dragged the limp body across the polished wood floors of the gymnasium. A pattern of blood trailed behind us from the blow to the head she’d taken. We were in debate in regards to the “debate” we were having against one another tomorrow before circumstances led to this. I’d won this round.  I needed to get the body somewhere no one would notice. The shower room doors sprung open before me as I tugged at both of her ankles. I pulled the body about halfwa...

I've always said that if I can finish all the stories in my head, before leaving this earthly realm of existence, I'd go happy and content. #purpose
