Starsky reflects on his attitude after The Plague.
Originally published in the SHareCon 2018 Zine.
I walk along beside you and I know there is a big goofy smile on my face…
But I don’t care!
I can’t back it down… and I won’t even try! I’m too jazzed about the reason it’s there.
If the whole world wants to take a good look…
BRING IT ON!!!
Your joy at being alive and healthy is contagious, I guess.
The look on YOUR face… That smile YOU’RE flashing…
It’s as bright as Southern California sunshine and I’m soaking it in. It’s so much better than those couple of days when I didn’t know what was going to happen.
All I could let myself think was… Gotta find Callendar…
I can’t stop looking…
Gotta find him…
Can’t stop…
Can’t STOP…
CAN’T !!!
I’m gonna find him!!!
Anything else would mean I’ve failed you, buddy.
I’d have to consider my options!
That’s what they keep telling me… They just don’t get it…
I DIDN’T HAVE ANY OPTIONS!!!
None that were acceptable as far as I was concerned!
I wasn’t ready by a helluva long shot to give you up…
To let you go…
You didn’t give up on me when I was poisoned by Bellamy.
You fought down to the last minutes in my 24 hour countdown!!!
You’re my PARTNER …
I couldn’t give you anything less!!!
So I guess you better get used to the goofy smile.
I’ll be wearing it a while…
And ya’ know what?
I DON’T CARE!!!
