Chapter 16: Moon As My Witness

The lonely star nomad floated inside his lonesome bubble. He looked down at the paralyzed planet which Hater now controlled. From Wander’s point of view, the planet was dark but the action down below was still taking place. Flashes of light were sudden and had quickly appeared for milliseconds before disappearing back into the darkness of the clouds and the absence of sunlight. One could only imagine what was going on down below that atmosphere.

He sighed and held his head down, thinking about this terrible day.

“What am I going to do...?”

I never felt alone, but here feels like hell. When I am on my own and you’re all I feel... Oh please, stay awhile. God, I love your smile...

“Good job you guys!” Commander Peepers congratulated his fellow troops. “Your Lord is proud. I am proud!”

The soldiers gave out their victory dances and their screeches of joy. They had finally done something that was right and it wasn’t interfered by anyone, especially Wander and Sylvia. When they had erased Sylvia from existence, the soldiers quickly reported to their commander. He heard the good news and the news quickly spread to Hater. Hater was pleased but there was a problem. He asked about Wander. They had no evidence that he had perished but they assumed that he didn’t make it because of the big missile launch. Hater smiled at the thought of his worst enemies dead, but deep down, he was disappointed that he couldn’t hear them scream and beg for mercy. After all, he did want to capture them and cause them so much pain by torturing them and watching their blood drain on the white tiled floor. Hater sighed but later accepted the fact that they were no longer a concern.

“Here in about an hour or so, the alarm will go off. You guys will report here and be prepared for a speech from Lord Hater. Like I said, he is very pleased of you guys’ work!”

The soldiers were just dying to hear what Hater had to say!

Wander continued to float among the chaos, shedding tears and trying to think of a way to save and help all of those people who are trapped on the surface. The cries of agony echoed inside his mind. Grabbing his head and grinding his teeth, he tried to ignore it. The image of Sylvia haunted his innocent mind.

A rat in a cage, a stone in a stream. I float far away. I live in a dream. Oh please, stay awhile. God, I love your smile...

“Sylvia... I-I’m so sorry.”
