Drifting. So much of life was drifting. The com was silent today and the boy had to busy himself with duties which would have otherwise been carried out by drones. He stripped the air conditioning unit in the deserted canteen module twice just because the activity made the passage of time feel less abstract. What was abstract any more with no one around to provide a context?
He dropped the ancient rubber ball on the floor when the whirring and beeping carrier signal came across the audio system again, piped into his room. There was the voice, the only other voice, who knows how many millions of miles away.
