In the soft, muted stage, between awake and asleep,
Shelby moved in her bed, twisting the sheets around her legs.
"There is
that sound again, I don't want to hear this, I'm scared!" Dad always
says, " Don't worry so much kiddo, I will take care of everything, "
Shelby moans, "Dad, don't, come back!"
Again Dad tells her, "You worry
too much kiddo, it's just a sound outside."
But he never came back!
Suddenly Shelby sits up in bed, her heart pounding in her chest. That
sound, just like that night so many years ago, I hear it now! Shelby
turns on the light, looking around the room, the sound soft in her ears.
It can't be happening, not here, not now! She turns and looks around
her room, the solid walls around her.
There are no windows in a
spacecraft!
