Space Ranger

Blind eye

Corpse was sent on a solo mission. He never expected this. And he hated the fact he let it happen.

It was a simple mission too. Meet up with Wolfabelle and get a file for Toast. Corpse reached planet Polus.

'Wolfabelle canceled. A mission for her crew came up' A message read. Corpse turned to go back to his dropship only for a hand to grab his throat.

Immediately he was slammed against the wall and couldn't breath. He clawed at the hand and gasped when it finally did release him.

He looked up and felt a sharp pain slash his eye. He used a hand to cover it, crying out in pain. And just like that he was alone.

Corpse stumbled back to the dropship all while covering his eye. It stung and the slash didn't feel to nice.

He headed back to Mira, but put in a call to Tina.

He soon arrived back and a gasp came as he headed to the medbay. Sykunno came over to him and walked next to his side.

"Oh Jesus, Corspe," he said with a gasp. Rae flanked his other side with worry

"What happened?"

"Not super sure," Corpse said and entered the medbay. A gasp came from Tina mad she immediately pointed to a bed

"Sit. Now," she ordered. Corpse obeyed and winced as she started to clean out the cut.

"What is it?" Rae asked as she moved closer. Tina sighed and inspected it closer

"Thankfully it wasn't deep, but that'll be a scar," she said. "Corpse open your eye," she ordered gently.

Corpse winced as he did and realized it didn't make a difference. He was blind in his left eye.

"Corpse..." Tina said softy. He flinched away and looked at her the best he could. The left half of his face hurt.

"Oh Jesus. Corspe your eye!"

"It's white!" Rae exclaimed. Corspe inhaled sharply.

"I'm blind..." he whispered. In ten seconds he was sprinting down the hall, voices calling his name.

He locked the door to Sykunnos and his room, hiding. He looked at his face and there was a long, red, scratch that ran down over his eye

He immediately hated the way he looked at punched the mirror. He fell to his knees, crying. He didn't know why he was so upset.

He grabbed his helmet and pulled it on, hiding his face. The door unlocked with a keycard and his green friend walked in.

Sykunno rushed to his side and hugged him. Corpse couldn't stop crying and actually cried harder.

"Corpse, I'm so sorry," Sykunno said. Corpse couldn't even figure out how to form the words of how he was feeling.

Sykunno pulled off Corpses helmet and Corpse immediately looked away. Sykunno made him look over.

"Sykunno..." Corpse whispered and Sykunno let the man cry. He managed to get Corpse into his bed and curled up with him.

"I'm so sorry Corpse," Sykunno said again.

"It's not your fault. I should've-"

"Shh, hey. Just go to sleep," Sykunno whispered and Corpse listened. Both drifting off to sleep
