The Saga Ends Differently


by Ed Sullivan




The throttle is stuck.
 I was supposed to shoot a plasma missile into that vent port. It can still be done.
The remaining problem is what happens afterward. I am not getting away.
I didn’t really intend for this to be self sacrifice.
I figured it would involve medals and pretty girls, sex and such.



THE END
