RE: [Short Story] - Meteor Strike

in #writing6 years ago

And they all died happily every after <3 I very much enjoyed this! But... really.. they went next straight away? Nothing to do first? Not even watch a few bodies drop? Anything?

And come on ken (although, I always like people called ken) could've told them with like three days of food left, so that if everyone else opted to jump ship, the few survivors would be able to starve a little slower, give the universe one last chance to intervene.

Is this dread level? I think it is <3

Sort:  

I'd reckon they were too bored and tired of merely existing without anything to do they welcomed death with open hands. The less people they needed to see die before them, the better.

Hmmm. That is a valid point. I could've written that bit differently;

"Theres enough food for all of us to make it for another 3 days-" Ken produced a pistol from behind his back. "Or for 2 of us to make it for 2 months." He fired a round into one of the men, killing him on spot, to settle the crowd. "We shall have a trial by combat." He fired once again, killing another male. "And seeing as nobody can fly the ship but me, there is only one spot left. The female position."

Thanks for the idea! I might rewrite it for "Bits of Dread Vol. II" ;)
