Stowaway, a Humpbuckle Tale

A 50-word #ZapFic50 story inspired by the Freewriters writing Hive account@daily.prompt, "loading bay"
...

...

I crawl into the box in the loading bay and wait. Something isn't right. I shouldn't have been able to get this far: security is too sloppy. Perhaps it's fate, I try to convince myself. But I've never believed in that crap. Someone's helping me get on board that spaceship.

_{All my stories are my own, coming from my imagination. I do not (nor have I ever, nor will I ever) used any AI program to write my stories. I am personally against the use of AI to write (for me the whole point of writing is to use my own brain: that is the joy of writing for me). The screenshot is of a word counter app that I use when writing my stories to check that my Humpbuckle Tales are precisely 50 words long. I am human, #NOTaRobot}
