"He closed his eyes for a moment, struggling not to fall asleep,but find a bare second of peace. He slowly leant back to the dubious comfort of the pilots seat, trying to get hold of the memories....And then, seemingly unexpected came the darkness again, and from it emerged the nighmare that has been haunting him for the last 5 years. He screamed, as he tried to open his eyes again - but he could not, for now he was in the power of the dream.
It were only images, vivid lights of flash,as always... But they all seemed so real, so recent, although they all happened a long time ago - but always, and again,they came.
...he is six, playing outside their house near the beach with the golden sands, and the azurre ocean. Clara is with him, she is four, and she smiles at him, and as they begin to play tag, a whole bunch of people come, in the white uniforms. There is mommy and daddy with them, but they both look sad...Mummy picks up Clara, while daddy talks to him, explaining something about a cutback, having to leave Curacao...
...he is eight, and is breathing in the same air of filth he will for the next ten years. He is inside the small appartment, eating synth paste with daddy, when Clara runs into the room and hugs daddy. He smiles at her, and spins her in the air, when she suddenly begins to cough, and then choke...The doctor said something about the smog, a terminal sickness...
...He is fifteen, and is walking with Clara in the neighborhood - she is wearing a mask, and breathes noisily, slowly. Suddenly one of richer kids whose father is a BMM CEO(or that is what he tells) begins to mock her because of the mask. He hits him, but then he runs away only to come back with his father, and two angry police officers...
...He is eighteen, and is at the bedside of Clara - she can't speak, and she breathes through a tube, and yet she still smiles; she is dying, it is only a matter of days now.Suddenly, there is a noise - he goes out, only to see his parents arguing with a Spa&Cruise agent about the mortgage, and having to move out next month. The officer pushes them aside, and rushes into the room where Clara is - he's clothes are dirty, as she suddenly starts to breathe faster, and the heart monitor is beeping quicker and quicker. He explodes into a rage, hits the agent and then drags him out of the room - and before he could retaliate, he rushes out of the apartment to the night,with tears appearing in his eyes...
And then the nightmare is gone.
He is still dreaming, but this time, after so many years - it is different.
He is twentysix, piloting a nimble eagle, pouring down a rain of photon beams on the very Spa&Cruise ship his father once was working on. He is smiling, and then turning in his cruise engines, he retreats toward the asteroid fields, towards Islay - his true home, after twentysix years. Curacao was a dream, and Leeds was a nightmare - but this is reality, and as he wakes up, he realises what is the goal, he will be fighting for the rest of his natural.
He was fighting for the environment, the future - he was fighting for Gaia now.
And Gaia will not bleed. "
