Voyagers
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. No one who’s been has ever come back to verify. I suppose I’ll find out soon. Tomorrow, I launch with a small crew of other ‘chosen ones.’ We’re the voyagers. The exalted ones. The heroes of our generation. But we know what we really are: the expendable. The lowest aptitude tests. No especially valuable skills. We were the ones to cull, in an otherwise exceptional herd. Of course, no one says that openly. There are parades and speeches and feasts, proclaiming the honour and glory of our mission: finding us all a viable new home.
