One Day At A Time

Her eyes back at him were hard too. Not challenging, but focused on what he was saying. There were moments and only moments she had wished she were dead. Not overall though. She had jumped off the ship for a reason, and it was for a better life. Not a dead one. She could almost feel that he was ready to throw her in with the rest of the cargo, she couldn’t do much about it anyway. She could have nearly accepted the fate, that one day he would throw her away under his own or someone else’s maw. And she did wonder how relieving that would be.

But on a dime he had changed. His intention all along but he made the switch both subtle and drastically. "I don’t find it so easy to forgive, but thank you." She had offered him a small smile but it didn’t last long. She was lost in her own thoughts. A life out of Atlas was a whole new life, but a free life was a different experience. One she had never known. She wondered what she could do with it.
