Mom's cursive words might have played a role here, who knows. I've been addicted to science since birth that I became useless at home but useful to my calculations. It finally paid off, I became an astronaut fifteen years later.
"This science of yours will kill you one day".
She once cursed me, though she didn't meant it. Said out of frustration because I never cared to help her in the kitchen. Not for once.
And here we are shooting into space, I remembered the word, tried shutting it off my mind but the next sound made those words true.
Wow, well done, @botefarm. I went to the wikipedia link first before reading your story, as I wasn't quite sure what it was. That made all the difference as I read the story. Oh my, such a sad event that was. You've done a great job of capturing a fictional perspective around that real life tragedy.
I'm sorry it took me a few days to stop by and comment. I often get too busy during the week and have to catch up on the weekends.
