"THE IMPOSSIBLE"
"Firefly" story
Written by Alison M. DOBELL
* * * * *
When Simon had taken his first steps aboard Serenity he had thought it the ugliest, grubbiest piece of *goushi* he had ever seen. Before his whole madcap adventure of trying to smuggle his sister to safety the only ships he had seen close up had been Alliance ones. Shiny, spotlessly clean pieces of gleaming technology. Since that time his yardstick had shrunk considerably and he had come to appreciate things about the Firefly transport that had gradually turned the grubby little ship into a home. Scruffy became lived in, grubby was work soiled, ugly had taken on a whole new cast seen through the enlightened eyes of someone who relied day in and day out on the little ship and her crew to keep them safe. His eyes widened inside his helmet, not with pleasure but a kind of fascinated horror. The Reaver ship took the notion of ugly to the extreme then abused the privilege. This was horror in all its' grotesque glory, the bloody awful mess inside the ship even more gut wrenching than the outside of the vessel.
The Captain had stepped aboard as if he had been on the ship before, nothing seeming to surprise or slow him down. Simon on the other hand was stuck in a kind of living nightmare, his eyes scanning the messy blood and flesh smeared interiors, trying to remind himself that it would not help
That was a rocking action packed chapter! Well worth waiting for but DAMN, I hope they're all super killers like River or I can't even begin to see how they are going to get away from all those Reavers!
Eagerly awaiting the next chapter!
Wow, I'm really hoping the blood that sprayed across Simon's face belonged to Gabriel, you know, like the Reavers had deliberately gone for him first in revenge for being controlled. As justice goes, it wouldn't be unpoetic.
Well, whatever happens next, I can't wait for the next installment.
BEB
Another wonderful installment from you with the Reavers, Gabriel, the crew split up, the blue hands....I loved it.
