Cold planet (chapter 2)
Burnt star 🌟

The screen alluminates through the darkness burning holes into my eyes. I have spent what seems like a lifetime staring at the letters running together as they turned to liquid and are running together. Two bodies, both missing their extremities. The first Body an Artillian woman, the second a human man, missing his thumb. She had an empty canister laying on the ground however, he didn't seem to have anything of the sort. As I look on the questions build,what am I missing? The man seemed to be a business man, wearing black slacks and a white dress shirt. Waiting on autopsies can drive a man insane, time slowly ticking moving in a dragging, sloshing agonizing pace. I stand pacing the floor running my mind back and forth until it drifts to the river of blood that flowed from their bodies into the endless river of the sewer system falling into rapids like miniscule waterfall dissapering into the depths of the city. I guess time has stopped for them yet it continues to torture me. The connection. What is the connection? suddenly the light from my communicator strapped to my wrist illuminates through my apartment bouncing off my dark walls. Jillian from the coroner's office appears. "Dectective star I may have some answers for you. meet me here in an hour" I grab my coat and slip out of the door. Will I ever find sleep? No, not until this madness ends.
