For
christn7. He knows why.
The Turn of the Earth
He holds her hand as he talks to her about physics and numbers and rotation and how he can feel it, all of it.
She’s young and naïve, wide-eyed and awed as she stares up at him, part of her wanting to laugh but most of her enthralled, almost-but-not-quite believing him.
Falling through space, he tells her, all of them, every single person on this tiny planet, and he can feel it.
Her pulse beats against his palm, so alive, contact he’s so long denied himself.
...and if we let go...
He lets go, and he’s the one who’s falling.
