Hasty Repair
An astronaut seeks to patch up a spacecraft’s exterior.
Tethered from the space craft, United States Marine Corps Colonel Bilson Wallabee worked on the ship. He was also heckled by a United States Air Force Brigadier General named Causewell Plymouth.
“You can’t do it. Just admit and come back in here with the rest of us. You’re not equipped, Jarhead.”
“Please keep talking, your hatred is motivating me. And once I get done patching up this bucket, you’re going to thank me.”
“Thank you for what?”
“I’m going to allow you to breathe in space.” He reentered the ship and spoke.
“These eagles can come off at any time.”

Center Stage with Paul Stewart
*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
