Op: Phoenix, My 'Safehouse' Pt: Finale



Mattimeo awoke to the sound of his comm unit beeping. "What!!!??!" he 
yelled groggily.  "Sir, we have bad news," said the tech, "The alien 
found a way to kill itself, and the fighter exploded when we tried to 
open it."  "Wellllll Shit!" said Matt as he switched off the comm.  He 
rolled out of bed and tried to stand, and fell on his face. He looked at 
his leg...and saw a knot of muscle the size of a half-soccer ball. He 
couldnt controll or feel his leg. "Oh God," he groaned, "the cuts healed, 
but that fucker POISONED me!!!!"  {OK, we got to deal with this, its one 
of the only four ways to kill me permanently.}  He thought his 
options...he couldnt pilot the Chester like this, he certainly couldn't 
fight...Hospital! He had to get earthside, Fast!

Matt appeared about a half-mile from the hospital he wanted. He started 
walking up the sidewalk, when he was gripped by a seziure, knocking him 
into a state of euphoria. 

He was running through the woods, again. He was being chased by the dogs, 
again. They were gaining, again. All of the sudden, he felt the bite on 
his leg, again. The shot came, and killed him, again. *WOOOSH* He was 
laying on the floor of his room, reading a book, when the word came that 
Mentor had died, again. He cried, again. *WOOOSH* He was looking at 
Jennifer, for the first time, again. *FOOOOOOM* He was looking at several 
faces wearing paper masks, he was back in the hospital.

He heard them babbling in medical jagon, giving him injections, and 
trying to feed him an air tube. Hewas gripped by another seziure, and 
died, lying on the table, smiling, and looking at his memories.

The End.  Coming Soon: Umbra: Fight For Life (after, or during OP: PHX)
