“What now,” Tabitha asked.
“This is an automated transport ship. It’s going to the coordinates you gave me in the pub. We don’t t have any crew to worry about so we should try to find somewhere with a view. We’re here for a while.” I replied.
I’d never been on a ship before but from what I could gather this used to be a manned ship that had been converted. From a documentary I once watched, this is actually quite common. This ship might have been as far out as the Kuiper Belt at one stage. There are remnants of human habitation throughout. Chairs and tables stacked to the side of some of the rooms. But most of the space is filled large wooden containers of produce. The lighting flickers.9
We reach the old main deck of the ship. I quickly sit on the captains seat. In a way, it’s like a dream coming through. This was where I wanted to be since I was little.
There is a transparent screen all around us showing us the environment outside the ship.
“What has you so happy?” Tabitha asked.
“Just being here, with you on this ship.”
She comes towards me and kisses me on the lips.
