If I ever see the earth again, I don't know whether I should kiss or curse the ground below. If this ever was my home, it's not anymore. All those binds have all been cut. So what? So what? So what? And as it takes hold, all I see turns red. Hands of flesh and bone feel like rocks instead. And as the spades dig in, breaking her back and piercing her skin, you know you should hear screaming but instead you hear nothing. Voyager, you're too late. Eyes become pinholes trained on LCD. Counts down. Zero.
