Deserted

TheSilverFox · 2018-12-23T18:12:33Z

This ship would've been lost forever if it wasn't for you. It's the only spot of color in this infinite desert. A gigantic airship covered over the top and back by what was once a massive balloon, it's lying at an angle against one of the sand dunes, threatening to fall onto the ground at any moment. Behind the shattered glass, rusted metal, battered floors, and torn canvas, you get the sense that it used to be a top-of-the-line vessel. If the oversized beds, tarnished silver utensils in the restaurants, and the brass bolts holding the frame together are any indicator, it served the wealthy and well-to-do. But something happened - they're all gone. There isn't another soul on this ship beyond you. Yet there's no bodies on the ship, no signs of a struggle that haven't vanished with age or time. Time isn't your friend; intact as the ship might be, you have no idea how long ago it was abandoned, or how much longer it's going to last. Those clouds in the distance don't reassure you either. Despite your fears and questions and concerns, you have one thought at the front of your mind. You need to get out of here. Rules: 1. Third-person perspective (preferred) 2. Past tense (preferred) 3. I'm pretty open to violence or romance, but ask if me you think anything will be too explicit. 4. Have fun!

The laugh turned into a smile.

"The person I'm talking about is actually one of my best friends," he admitted. "If you ever meet him, I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about. I care about him deeply, but he's..."

He wasn't sure how to finish the sentence.

"He's just himself," he awkwardly concluded.

Mal snorted. "I can get that," he said. "That kind of person is a little grating, but you can't imagine them being anything else."

S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

"That's very true," he agreed.

He glanced over at Lunis.

"Do you think the two of you will ever become friends?" he asked.

"Probably not," Mal said, shaking his head. "We don't live anywhere near each other anymore, so it's not like we'd be able to talk to each other in the first place. And there's still a lot of bad blood between us."

He studied the two of them.

"How did you first meet?" he asked.
