As the two women stared out, separated by only a few feet,
but from backgrounds light-years apart, both women’s thoughts were fixed on the
same man.  One reflecting on a past that would now forever remain lost.  The
other reflecting on a future that now could never be.  

*****

The stars shone brightly, a pure cleansing white light that
briefly banished the dark and cold space surrounding the station.  The search
and rescue vessels that continued to search the surrounding space for any
remaining survivors interrupted the light only briefly.

Further out, a brief flash of light briefly illuminated a
darker patch of space.  It was an intermittent flash of light, this not from
the surrounding stars, but the failing emergency beacon on the escape pod as it
tumbled and fell though the darkness of space.
