I wanted to scream. Grab you by the collar. Ask you why, beg you to stop, force you to leave. Why wasn't I enough...why? Wasn't I enough?
I want to see your face, hear you stutter up a lie, tell me you love me, that it meant nothing - but I want so badly for your punishment to be that I knew.
I knew where you went. Who called in the middle of the night. That scent...that I noticed it. The tired nights, the work trips...the strands of hair. I knew it all.
I want it bad enough, that the next time you see me, I'll be still. You won't be able to make it right, you won't be able to fight. It'll be too late, and it'll be by your hands.
Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned.

Midnight
60 seconds… 59 seconds… Time was slipping through his fingers, though he clawed at the falling grains of sand, he could not stop the hourglass from flowing. Around him, the silence was deafening. He had taken over every screen in the command centre, putting the terrible seconds before the terrified eyes of his friends and comrades.

Descent
“60 seconds.” Aris tightened her grip on the overhead handhold. The troop transport shook like a leaf in a windstorm as it battled through the atmosphere. Dim lights flickered on and off as the ship’s systems were battered by pelting rain and narrowly dodged blasts from laser cannons on the surface of the planet.
