I heard my fathers voice
I entered the derelict ship
I thought I might find him…
Sadly,
It appears if he’s here
He’s somewhere deeper within
I feel this is a trap
However,
I could never give up on him!
What if he’s here?
What if he’s still alive?
These thoughts
Drive me further inside…
A sickening air
Pervades this place
Something horrific happened here…
Something watches me
I can’t see it
However,
I know it is there
Dad, if you’re alive
I pray for protection
While I walk inside
*Crackle*
My radio goes off once again
This time it’s the voice
Of a child…
H-Hel-p…H-Hel-p…H-Hel-p…
The voice plays back
Over & over again
I ponder if my radio has somehow picked up
On an old recording
Then, I see it…
Out of the corner of my eye at first
The girl stands,
Just out of sight…
Turning my light
Towards her face
I find nothing
Where once she stood in place…
Continuing deeper within the ship
My radio comes to life again
*Crackle*
Tracy…Tracy….
I hear my name spoken again & again…
The voice coming through
Sounds like a woman
*Whispers*
I have your father…
H-…hehe…hehehehehe….
*Radio falls silent*
Tapping upon the interface
Trying to get the voice again
Clearly a trap
Still,
I’ll never give up on him…
My radio is dead,
It won’t even turn on
A door opens before me
Into darkness I walk
I try my flashlight
Still, it doesn’t penetrate the shadows
Of the hall ahead…
Walking deeper inside
A silent prayer spoken…
I hear the giant doors slam behind me
As I walk in
Then a haunting laughter
…And darkness…
…Envelop me…
