Unknown POV
…
I stretched my back and ran my fingers through my hair. My eyes were tired and groggy. You could even call them bloodshot.
"Ugh..." I groaned into the pillow.
All of this exhaustion from the contract work I was doing yesterday. Really, I didn't even have a single minute to myself.
It was all drink this, carve this, make this thing work so that the other thing wouldn't just fail whenever it was activated.
God, I just wanted to sleep for another day. But no~ I'm not allowed to.
I want out.
I want out of the frontier. I want out of this work.
Not only was it remote but it was so cold.
Maybe when I go home I can take a vacation for hmm... thirty or forty years. By then I'm sure there would be another heir.
My eyes glared at the room in annoyance. Something's off.
When I opened the door, there was only carnage to be found.
"God dammit"
