Yeah, yeah, yeah, long time, no see. Not available tonight but I was aiming for an equinox post This is an experiment in trigger posting and I didn't want to overload. The rest when I get back in the am.
The earth floats beneath me and I lightly sip at the sake that has long been reserved for only me. It bitters in my mouth as I am no longer that person and I can no longer tolerate it.
My companion notices my distaste and texts something through to whomever it is assigned to coordinate this flight.
I serve too many masters. One man’s loyalty can be stretched only so far.
My first must be to Kim and as best I can I honor that. He is safe for the moment, though moments are by their very definition fleeting.
Phillip. I saved him and yet he saved me.
Taylor, most certainly. Taylor’s foolishness precipitated so very much of the present.
Robert. Robert, where are you and why must you make this so difficult, for difficult it can only be.
My companion signals silently that our descent is about to commence. I nod in acknowledgement and wonder at what new horrors this day will bring.
