Friday’s Page 69 ~ Cold Eternity by S.A. Barnes
It’s already hard enough to sleep with the noises. I’m still trying to get used to those.
Some of them are, I assume, normal for a ship of this age. Random popping sounds, like rivets giving way. A series of clicking noises above my head that might sound like sharp fingernails tapping loudly against the floor above is more likely some elderly apparatus attempting to reboot itself to functionality. Groans, loud and far too human-sounding at times, as the metal walls proest the temperature difference between the warmth inside versus the cold of space. Probably.
Weekly Quote ~ 2-11-2025: What Stalks the Deep by T. Kingfisher

“Damned if I know.” I sat back on my heels.
Our reflections didn’t vanish. They stayed where they had been, gazing up at us. As I watched, my face opened its mouth, revealing rows of pearl teeth, in a silent scream of horror.

When he wakes, his body is covered in a film of sweat because he knows that what awaits is another day of slaughtering humans.
