Tarnished

He left the lights dim.  A harsh glare wasn’t something he could handle right now.

His best friend was a Cylon.

The woman he loved was dying.

His ship was coming apart at the seams.

His life was unraveling around him.

Bill Adama was no tailor.

He reached into his pocket.  The flask was a comfortable fit in his hand.

The glint of silver caught her eye.

“Is that Tigh’s or yours?”

He grunted.

I think you’ve had enough.”

“I have.  I’m frakked.  You’re frakked.  We’re all frakked.  So why don’t we just frak?”

"Because I’m tired of faking it.”
