Lost Boy

That fucking light still seemed to linger in the air. There was a weird feeling too like the atmosphere was burned and offended. Hatch wasn’t sure about the science part of the damn pod, that was not his MOS, but maybe if he thought about it later he’d ASC Google. …while he was on the shitter or something.

His boots made no sound crossing the clearing and impossibly-dry ground. He leaned down and grabbed the straps of the pod’s pack nonchalantly, crushing the charred remains of the kid’s stuff as the ash was vaporized into nothing underfoot. Turning, he shifted his assault rifle muzzle-down on its sling. His now-free hand keyed into the suitcase ebike from his forearm pad and triggered the startup sequence. He did not notice his attacker until it was too late.

The staves contacted the man right where intended; their wielder was a pro after all.

Hatch stiffened and convulsed and found himself on the ground like a felled tree. He stared up into the evergreen canopy blankly, unable to move. A groan escaped before a prolonged, exhaled, ‘fuuuuuuuuck.’


Hatch, NPC
