"Mood"

written by

Natalie Fowler rolled over, careful not to awaken the woman beside her.

Another pointless relationship.

Anna was great in bed, but not much else. The nightly arguments were taking a heavy toll on Natalie's sanity.

I have to get out of here.

But then what? Natalie hadn't found anything other than Anna to temper the boredom.

She went to the living room, and turned on the comm display, hoping for inspiration. However, instead of the usual search screen, a message flashed.

“Orders?”

Natalie scanned the text, then ran the usual verifications.

A smile crept across her face. “That sounds fun.”
