A Universe of Love: Intergalactic Travels and Tribulations
·
Published 3/19/2023Intergalactic travelers from diverse species grapple with complex questions of love and identity on their quest for purpose and destination, in a stylistically complex journey that challenges traditional approaches to courtship and ups the stakes towards an unforgettable conclusion.
"You know that when we get there, I'm going to die."
I told her the truth. I didn't want to leave her alone in this world with a child. It would be best if she knew the truth. But, in my mind, I thought of her as "my" child. She was mine and part of me. The only one left in the universe who was alive. The only one who wanted to live. And I promised I would protect her, all seven years of her young life.
She turned to me and looked into my eyes for a long moment. "I know," she said at last. Then she put her hand on my cheek and kissed me softly. I knew what that kiss meant, something beyond love and even beyond what humans called "forever." That kiss meant nothing short of forever, infinity wrapped up into a single action that could never be repeated again. When we were together, it was always like that. We were two halves of a whole and we fit together like two pieces of a puzzle, each piece worth nothing without the other piece being there as well.
We had been together for seven years now and though we traveled almost constantly across the universe and saw entire universes beyond comprehension, our relationship was still fresh and new every time we shared another moment together. Each moment brought more joy than the last and each moment brought us closer to our final destination where one of us would die. We both knew it was coming but neither of us could talk about it anymore.
But still, every day we held each other close and tried to find happiness within ourselves before the end came upon us all too soon. Today was no different than those days past it seemed and we were sitting on a bench inside the Millennium Falcon watching our son play with his toys scattered around him.
