Ever After
The lights in Sickbay were dim.
He noticed the chair beside her bed was empty.
Cottle grunted. Taking a final drag of his cigarette, he crushed it out in a bedpan and sat down.
He didn’t have a book.
“Once upon a time,” he began, “the world was sweet.” He paused. “Oh, frak that. I don’t know much about yours, but mine certainly wasn’t.”
Her eyes were closed.
No poison apple, dwarfs, or handsome prince.
Only the cancer, a failed doctor, and a broken admiral.
He brushed his fingers softly across her hand. Then taking it, he kissed it gently.
