Mist

Free Fall

I open my eyes. Nobody is near me. I'm falling into the mountains. They shake as the Warship explodes above me. I look around and see the Service Soldiers above me. I start to lose consciousness again. The exploding Warship looks like a giant green ball. I look in front of me and it's just white. "Do I jump on a mountain?" I hear in a robotic voice.

"Jump on the mountain. " I hear from Serdityy.

"Isn't there a machine for that?"

"Mountain jumper. They want us to mountain jump onto a mountain because it would prevent us from a sad death." It's so foggy and white.

"Who?" I hear nothing for a few moments.

"I think it's better than nothing. Hopefully, I did it right," says another voice, deep and smooth.

"He looks fine," Serdityy barks at them. I pass a layer of cloud. It isn't foggy, it's snowing again, but I see the rugged mountaintop before we land.

"Get him up!" Serdityy yells. I'm lifted and instantly see the world. The white blankness of Mist explodes in my eyes. I feel something come up and puke a yellow substance. An alien looks into my eyes. "He's ready to jump."

Serdityy comes by and looks me into the eye. He's very clean and polished. "You ready to jump?" I nod, knowing I can't argue with him.

"We'll fix you up soon," the alien says. I slowly walk, feeling the pain of my skin being melted off. I gaze around the horizon. Rubble from the ship falls down. The mountains are cluttered with marks of explosions. Tiny splurts of light decorate the mountainside. Small thunders echoes. The bit of my visor left shows me which mountain I need to jump too. I turn back and see the alien wave to me. I jump.

The air breakings in front of my helmet. The string from my mountain jumper zooms back into me. I fire again. Whiplash hits me as I fly towards the mountain. I stop on the side of it. My helmet taps it slightly and I just rest. I miss everyone. I miss my flowers. I miss myself.

I climb. A few service snipers are placed on top of the mountain. I sit down with them. Confused, they stare at me. I'm steaming and green goop is all over my back. I drag myself to the medical ward.
