...We explore space in search of answers, but sometimes we only find more questions. I'm Dr. Dana Dwitt and I'll tell you the story of the EX-A2542 exploration.



Chapter I.3 - My parents

It had been a long time since I returned to Black Town, I was still the same as always, immersed in its depressing and fetid blackened aura, it seemed like not a day had passed since I was there last time.

The aerotaxi left me in front of my parents' house, for a moment I hesitated to call, "What am I doing here?" I asked myself, after a minute of debate with myself I decided to knock on the door.

"Hi, Mom" I babbled with a nervous smile.

"My daughter, I missed you too much, did you finally remember that you could visit your mother?" she reproached me.

My eyes got wet, and being unable to say a word, I threw myself on her and hugged her, a tear escaped from my cheek and was deposited on her blouse. My mother greeted me with joy, her illuminated eyes contrasted with her tired and gloomy face, the smell of burnt plastic emanating from the kitchen made me feel at home.

We chatted for a while, we remembered embarrassing moments from my childhood that do not come to the case and she told me about her and Dad's life during the last year, I discovered that she was sick and never called me not to cause me worries. I felt guilty if I had been more attentive to my mother I would have noticed her discomfort.

After I rejecting a fifth cup of coffee, she placed her hand on mine, "Your Father must be coming" she said as she watched the time on the wall screen.

"Yes, I know"

The pneumatic sound behind me revealed the opening of the door, my father's iron silhouette approached the room.

"Hello, Father" I got up from the seat to, say hello to him. Hug him?

"Dana," he replied, feeling a little surprised.

"Carl, our girl is a recognized doctor and soon she will travel to space in an important mission, I am so proud, although I cannot deny that a part of me only wants her to stay at home" my mother explained to him.

"Is that true?" My father asked, to which I nodded in response, "Well," he said, placing a hand on my shoulder as if to end the conversation. Then he sighed and going to the kitchen asked mom "what's to eat?"

My mother looked at me with shrugged shoulders and then followed my father into the kitchen.

"I made some pancakes with synthetic syrup, the taste you like"

Although a little uncomfortable, I felt at home again, it will be a good weekend to say goodbye to them.

Will continue...
