Chapter Thirteen

Trip was skidding, sliding over a large, smooth rock as it rolled under his foot, then falling, arms out-flung as his boot caught. Something twisted, tugged, then cracked under the force of his momentum before giving way beneath him.

Pain! Oh, hell! Hurts! Hurts!

And still he fell, tumbling sideways a forever way down to rubble strewn ground.

Real hard ground! Oh, Mamma, it’s so hard! Hurts! Ribs- Mamma, ribs. Like falling off the roof again! Oh, my side, my leg, my captain-!

And overhead, rocks keep raining down.

Got to move! Get… outta… here… before… I’m… buried! Can’t… quite… catch my breath! Oh, damn! Leg trapped… Hurts to… breathe. Gotta… get an arm up… protect my face…

Wah-wah-wah-wwang!

Helmet ringing, head ringing… Helmet flying free, clatter, clang… over the floor…! Lamp flickering… Oh, my head, my head… Blood running hot and sticky wet… Can’t move- can’t get free… But I’m supposed to be…

Be what? Going…? Somewhere. Gotta do… what? God, I’m so dizzy. Could puke… No! Hurts way too much to puke. Head keeps spinning. Round… round… Grey, greyer. Gotta lie back… Catch my breath… a second, Captain. But I’ll be right there to do whatever… I’m supposed to do… Okay, Captain? Do you…? Can… you…? Hear…? Me…?

Lamp… going out… Maybe not lamp… Maybe me, going out… So grey… Dark… Captain…?

Captain…?

Captain…

It's painful to see Trip struggling against all that pain and confusion to reach Jon. Gotta get to the next chapter.

Weeble: Yeah, i agree, too short. I'd re-divide if I could- actually would probably tie this one in to Chapter Twelve. Really wasn't thinking about installments when i did it.

Weeble

Ok a negative comment.

Not sure of the why this is a chapter, too short and if i hadn't been following the story CLOSELY, I wouldn't have a clue from this.

Love the story just not this short

Asso

No, it was not a joke. However, our friend Lt. Zoe Jebkanto knows very well how to go about that. No doubt about this.:p

Alelou

Oh, you weren't kidding.

Of course, we do know he survived THAt.
