“Where are you going, you haven’t removed your suit yet.”
I stopped walking but did not turn around.
“I’ll do it in my cabin,” I replied, hoping he would leave it at that, but
of course he didn’t.
“Why not take it off now like you usually do? Otherwise you have to carry
it back here later.”
“I’m not wearing anything underneath it,” I admitted.
“You’re going commando in a space suit? What the hell is wrong with you?”
“When I saw the lights coming from the alien craft, I didn’t want to waste
time popping into my cabin and throwing clothes on so I raced straight here and
put my space suit on.”
“Hang on a second, are you telling me that you were wandering the darkened
corridors of this ship in the middle of the darkness of night stark bloody
naked? I feel that I should warn the crew and issue a nightly all points bulletin
to be on the look out for you…but if seen do not approach as you are considered
mentally deranged.”
I started to walk on down the corridor as he yelled after me,
“Or maybe I should just lock you in your bloody cabin every night after
the sun goes down.”
