fenton had always wanted to fly.

he found space fascinating. at first he appreciated it for the colours, and then the vastness, and then for the fact that it was a beautiful mirror into the past. it enchanted and disturbed him in many, many ways. what looked like pretty glowing dots to him were actually beyond-gigantic, burning balls of gas. earth was huge, and yet not one-millionth of some of those stars.

and no two were identical. he wanted to see them. see them all. he knew this a childish wish (after all, how many children had spouted the words 'i wanna be an astronaut!'?), not to mention irrational and impossible. but despite his suppressing these wishes, they continued to manifest at the back of his brain.

he had always been somewhat of a silent prodigy; one of those kids who never speak and silently snipe the A*'s, easily riding through primary school, secondary school and college with little to no effort. it wasn't until after graduating from college and beginning to research universities did the fascination with space come crashing back at full force; gnawing and eating away at his thoughts until he eventually succumbed and applied for a place on an aerospace engineering course.

after rigorous and ridiculous amounts of examinations and mental breakdowns, he secured himself a place.

years passed, and after much work moving up the ranks, fenton eventually achieved an opportunity to undergo space pilot training.
and three years later, he was chosen for a space launch for an attempted trip to Pluto. The furthest any human being had ever tried to achieve. he accepted.

he knew the risks, and yet he was fully prepared to take those chances. one of the engines failed barely after breaking free of the earth's atmosphere, and the rocket travelled in a lopsided direction. fenton fought for control, but neither he or his crew could reboot the failed engine.

for the next few hours, fenton sailed gloriously through space. it was nothing like he had expected and yet everything he had ever wanted. those hours were the best of his life - and the last.

now he is an angel.
a space angel.
