Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
by Commander Wedge
Wes Janson looked down at the still form that was snuggled up close to him
and he felt a familiar ache in his heart for his love of the man who was
closer to him than any other being in the galaxy. Gently reaching out he
softly caressed Wedge’s forehead brushing his blood matted hair out of his
eyes – a gesture he had performed thousands of times during their long
relationship – one last time. Wes pulled the thermal survival blanket up
around their shoulders – not that it would do much good, his internal
injuries were just too extensive – as he looked over at the burned and
ruined hulk of the shuttle nearby. Taking a deep breath, the Taanabian
pilot closed his eyes: the rescue team found them three days later, forever
together in death as they had been in life.
