Chapter Two: The Last Safe Place
An Original Story By: Pizzachu
“You won’t find any survivors. Believe me, they’re all dead.”
I jump to my feet and whirl around to face the strange voice’s owner. Standing before me is a young man who looks harmless enough that I don’t feel threatened, despite his harsh words. It’s difficult to make out who he is because of all the dirt and ash covering him, but I recognize him as a new recruit Kimara had picked up while doing a supply run on the distant planet of Laekka a few days ago. Geez... this kid’s only been around a few days, and this happens? He must really be glad he joined the resistance now...
“We can’t give up on our friends so easily.” I walk towards him, looking him over for serious injuries as I approach. He’s covered in bruises and cuts, but I don’t see anything fatal.
“Suit yourself.” He drops down on what’s left of a support column and buries his face in his hands, looking as if he’s already abandoned all hope.
“What’s your name, kid?”
