creatures lurk below the deck

Zèklè You land on your feet - in the most literal sense, and is that way only. Outwardly you are upright and steady; inside, though, you're still reeling. Your emotions, your thoughts, your world - it's a fucking whirlpool, nonsensical, dragging you down toward some dark and toxic epicenter where no light could ever reach. What the fuck happened what the fuck happened whatthefuckhappened- these are the thoughts racing through your head on repeat, panicked and garbled and in the fullest throes of denial. Its a question you have no answer to, because the truth (they're all dead), the reality (all dead), the answer (they were killed and they exploded and now they're dead, so dead there's nothing left to bury, so dead there isn't anything past a memory for you to even touch)- -well, it's just too much to bear. How does life go on now? How do you pick yourself up and continue to live? It helps that you're already standing. You inhale deeply. Step one: get on your feet: check. Done. Now what's step two? Ma would know. Ma didn't know shit! Ma is dead. Fuck. Okay. Breathe. Breathe. You've got this. Ma's dead and Da's dead and Iso's dead and basically everyone is fucking dead, but you aren't, and Mauna and Iskra aren't, and you have to keep on living for them, no matter what. You look around, sunbeam eyes unfocused and unsteady until they catch sight of something familiar, and immediately your gaze grows sharp. Your throat is dry from screaming sobbing, and you lick chapped lips before calling - "Sparky? Mauna? You guys okay?" Gingerly you take another step, pushing past debris and undergrowth, trying to get closer to your brother and son. "It's okay," (it's not), "we're gonna be okay," (you're not) "everything is gonna be okay." You're a liar, Zero, but you'll lie until your tongue falls out, if only to help them.  Step two is Mauna and Iskra, and step three... you'll figure out step three when you get there. At this moment those two are all the steps you have, all the pieces that remain of your broken life. "Talk." And in the sea that's painted black, Creatures lurk below the deck But you're a queen and I'm a lionheart
