In the Future…
I sat down on the couch in the empty penthouse and began scrolling through the world history archives. I noticed a picture of the statue I had seen with Sertoff and I on it. I clicked the picture and read the inscription, it was completely different that what I had read in translated English. In fact what it said was quite disturbing.
Mark and Jasylin Chasarue Founders of DawnCo.
I felt hollow inside and then I felt my stomach turn. How dare he. How dare he put my face with this monstrosity. I felt my skin paling and my palms started to break out in a cold sweat.
I wasn’t even here. How dare he? Then the last name settled in. I was not married to this man, he didn’t even seem to like me that much. He never flirted with me, he never treated me as anything but a guest.
I looked at his bedroom door. Every urge inside me told me to go in there and look around. I don’t know who this man is, I don’t know anything personal about him at all.
I walked to the door, expecting it to be locked, but it slid open as I approached.
The room was meticulously clean. Books lined shelves were on one side of the room near the bed. A dresser with a few objects on it, what looked like cuff-links, and a few electronical devices. The room was backwards L shape, the bed was what you saw when you walked in and the books, then turning left you see a wall and the dresser. Walking past the dresser, the closet was to the right and the bathroom entrance to the left. A window wall was between the two.
I froze looking out the window. At the statue that stood there of Mark and myself. There was park around it, with trees and grass. You could see it perfectly from the base to the top from this view.
My heart began to beat rapidly, he looks every day at this. Every day.
I turned around and started to walk out of the room when the picture on the night stand by the bed caught my eye. I picked up the frame. A wood and metal frame, the picture itself was a developed one it was not digital.
It was a snapshot of me, from Earth. But I never took this picture, and I don’t remember it being taken. I felt completely uneasy.
I set the picture down and walked out of the room. I have to get out of here. I have to find out a way to rescue Meeset and get out of here. I wondered where the rest of the group were and if they were in similar predicaments. I even wondered where Sertoff was now.
