    Summary

    “COI,” Simon growled, bringing one knee up and shifting his weight, struggling to remember how to stand. The ground bucked beneath him, sending him onto all fours, the impact jarring every nerve. “Not done feeding me to it, keep chewing and spitting.”

    He gagged on his next words, choking back a sob. “'M’not a person, am I? Just a machine to you. Patch me up, send me in again..." Every muscle seized in a violent, cramping tremor. His breath shook. Cold sank into his bones while his skin seared hot.

    “I don’t know who this COI is,” Grace said evenly. A cough. A few deep, wheezing breaths. “Wow, you really did a number on me.”

    “Rocky explain,” the alien said firmly, tapping Grace’s knee not too gently before turning back to Simon. “You in danger. You hurt. We hear distress call through wormhole. We help.”

    Summary

    Just as Grace was about to float back to the entrance, finally freeing himself from the prison of the ship, he suddenly felt something grab his wrist, pulling him back with a force so strong his legs nearly flew out from underneath him. Grace’s neck cracked loudly as he whipped around so fast he was left dizzy.
    The man’s hand was gripping his suit. The dead man. The man who was dead. The dead who was dead and there was no possible way he could not be dead had just moved.
    That bright light panel must have killed him, Grace reasoned as he stared down at the hand holding his wrist. Yes, the light killed him, and this was a dream. Funny, he had always thought you were supposed to see all your best memories before you died. If that was true, then he was very concerned that this was the best memory his brain could conjure, especially since this had never happened. At least, as far as he was aware.
