Hello #Freewriters I hope you're all having a lovely weekend.
I got some pretty bad news tonight and I'm looking to lose myself in some micro-fiction. I made an entry into this week's ZapFic competition and for once I think I made a decent entry.
The prompt for this week is: 'Civilian' and you can check out my entry Here if you like.

Wheel Her In
Galvin's palms itched as the urge to take manual control grew.
Last week's debacle with the mooring protocols had given him a taste of what it's like to be consequential. For twenty minutes he felt truly important; something he'd rarely felt ever.
The hum-drum of regular life was pushing that sweet memory further and further out of view, and he feared that if he didn't stoke the fire it would disappear. Galvin swallowed his doubts and initiated an incredibly illegal, unscheduled maintenance diagnostic on the same set of docking protocols. They were certain to find out his crime during the audits were, but he didn't care.
"Looks like the docking procedures are messing up again, captain. Permission to wheel her in?"
"Granted."
Galvin would know that feeling again, even if it cost him everything.
Thank you for reading.
I hope you're all having an amazing weekend and staying safe.
Take care, Simon.
