For the first time in weeks, you dreamed. At first, you dream of home. It was a place with wide open bright blue skies without a cloud for miles. You’d spend hours while you were a little kid just looking into it, waiting for something to happen, or watching the F-4’s of the National Guard rocketing over towards the air-base nearby. Someone new is beside you though, even though you were always alone doing this back home. A face you recognize, but one you don’t remember.
“They’re beautiful aren’t they?” he asks you, and when you look down you’re wearing your fortified suit.
“Yeah. They’re beautiful.” There was something about these old TSF’s you were looking at, the bulk, the angling, and how they flew all creating a sort of charm you couldn’t deny. They were the alpha and omega in your young mind, how one of these machines should work.
When you got to fly one in training, you nearly cried. That little kid inside of you came back for a few minutes. Hell, you probably chose to go for A-12 training despite qualifying hand over fist to pilot Super Hornets simply because the A-12 reminded you more of those flying giants from when you were younger. The pay boost was nice too though, which was probably more important for you.
“Do you blame yourself for what happened?” your companion asks you as the world flickers away from the idealistic memories of your childhood. Instead, quiet darkness surrounds you, as if waiting for your answer.
“I killed them.”
“That isn’t a good answer.” Your companion sighs, clapping you on the back. His face is still on the verge of recognition, but he’s wearing a suit identical to your own, as you find yourself once again strapped into the cockpit of the A-12.
