Short Story - 0xE125

By Dreadwing93

Chapter one: Featherweight

It's been so long. my internal clock tells me that it has been over 200 trillion years. The ship's computer seems to agree with me. I would be dead by now had it not been for the computer supplying me the solar energy it's been collecting. I am grateful for the scientists who created this ship and myself, if they hadn't made the ship smart enough to seek nearby stars we would have long perished with that first star we orbited. I seem to be in a bit of a predicament however. I am still connected to the ship, but only through one port. The other cable connecting me to the ship has come loose.
