Sophia stared out the window as Sebastian faded into the distance. She knew with a hard, scientific certainty that she would never see him again.
This was not some intuition. As her vehicle sped towards the distance, Sebastian floated in nearly the opposite direction, his back to her. By the time she returned, he would be lost forever, miles away.
She fumbled her radio, searching for the correct channel.
“Sebastian, can you hear me?”
“Yes, I’m here.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s all right. We all knew this was a possibility.”
Thus Sebastian Spellman became the first American astronaut lost in space.
