Chapter Six [Text]

[thebestseller]

Who: Richard Castle and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Windrose if you really want?
When: RIGHT NOW

It was my birthday on the first of the month, and normally I'd have celebrated it, but having my first birthday here and this planet having deadly air have made me want to come clean about something.

I think I might be dead back home.

I don't know for certain, and I never will know unless someone from back home shows up AND they're from further down my timeline. Which is looking less and less likely the longer I'm here.

I'm not asking anyone else to share if they're in the same boat if they don't want to, but I'm still figuring out how to process it, and like I said, it's been hitting me hard lately. So I had to get it out somewhere.

What's coming is going to come, right? And we never know what's going to be in store for us next.

I mean, I'm still going to think about this from time to time, but I can't let it consume me, right?

Yeah, that's right.

It's fine to think about it once and awhile. But it's good to keep moving forward too, wherever our paths may lead.

Because otherwise, I'd lose myself in wondering about the whatifs. My imagination's too big for that to consume me for too long, thankfully. Maybe I'll write all my feelings out in a notebook and be done with it.

[save_the_souls]

Like a journal? That's a good idea.

I usually do that with my- [Wait saying golem would definitely give him away] with my personal log.

[thebestseller]

Yeah, exactly. Writing is sometimes the best therapy- take it from the writer.
