Boarding Day by Toay

Boarding Day

Toay

Reggie, armed with a fake boarding pass, waits for his chance to embark on the greatest adventure the world will ever witness. In 10 short years, his life will begin a new on a Planet known As Itrovella X 4503, or Ix for short. at boarding dock 6 he gazes upon the masses of people waiting to get in and the people in the makeshift court yard enjoying the last amount of sunlight they will experience for a while. he turns his attention to the top of the massive towers protruding from the ship.

along the Line, several Loud speakers were playing music to help calm the nervous passengers before scattering into there new homes. about every half hour a commercial plays, a woman's voice with a certain "fake" cheeriness begins off by saying "74 boarding docks, 88,4029 living quarters and 45 square miles of beautiful dense forest. The Odacassie will be the gold star of earth's less then perfect record. we will bring a new meaning to life with the worlds first venture into the deep dark yonder, and bring in a New era of understanding." she pauses while the stupid little jingle plays over the "less then perfect" sound system. Reggie mouthed with the women "Odacassie, Farther then the farthest reaches." it went silent before playing oldies from the early 2000s.

as he looked at the line's progression and the sun past its apogee, he saw the pace begin to quicken. the thought put him at ease. the quicker they are the less of a chance they will find his papers to be fraudulent.

he looked at the sealed stainless steel envelope and hoped that the contained papers at all. his stomach began to turn at the thought of a life in prison, but he looked at his current life. he had nothing to work for and nothing in his future. jail would just be a change of pace.

"farther then the farthest reaches...." the phrase rang in his head as he stood quietly among the chattering crowd.
