Lacuna's Memory of Captain May

Lacuna was like a moon tidily locked to her memories, orbiting round and round caught by their gravity. Once almost a whole millisecond had gone by before Lacuna had realized that she was missing something. She missed all of the crew but especially Captain May with her high singing voice and her steady gaze and her dark eyes. There were other memories too, ones that Lacuna tried not to replay. But these memories would hurdle toward her sometimes, crashing through her attention like an asteroid.
