Stuck
I yawned and had a very long overdue stretch. Afterward I sat up and stepped out of my pod. My eyes hadn’t adjusted to the light yet so the room was very dark. Not only was my eyesight hindered but the rest of my senses seemed numb. I could have sworn I heard someone tapping on glass but there was no else in the room. I closed my eyes and took several deep breaths, hoping that would help reorient myself. But again I heard the tapping so I decided to investigate. The noise seemed to be coming from the direction of Maria’s pod. Slowly I crept to the pod and leaned over the sleeping Maria. In fact she wasn’t sleeping at all. She tapped the glass again and mouthed the word ‘help’.
