Prologue
Science Fiction Sex Story: Prologue - Dylan and his mother Sophie wake deep inside an alien ship, torn from their ordinary lives by a blinding flash.

The rain had started in the afternoon and by evening had settled into that steady, endless force where you stop waiting for it to end. Sophie listened to it from the kitchen window — how it drummed on the eaves, on the glass, on the tin awning over the porch, in three different voices at once. She had always heard things separately. That was her job — to take the general noise and sort it into voices, and to understand which one was hurting.
At school they called her a psychologist, but she thought of herself more simply: a person who watches. In fifteen years she had learned to read a child by the way they walked into her office, set down their bag, met or avoided her eyes. What was happening at home, what they were afraid of, whether they were lying or just tired. Most of the time — before they themselves had decided to tell her. Sometimes it felt like an unfair advantage; sometimes, like a curse. Still, it was only intuition, not a gift: people left her a margin in which she could be wrong. Once, that margin had cost too much.
“Mom, we’re out of everything,” came a voice from the room. “I mean literally everything. I checked.”
“You checked the fridge, or you thought about checking?”
A short pause. She was already smiling, knowing what was coming.
“Philosophically speaking, they’re the same thing.”
Dylan appeared in the doorway, leaning a shoulder against the frame — lazily, the way only he could, as if the walls were holding him up rather than the other way around. Tall now, almost a head taller than her, but the smile was the same, slightly crooked, tilting to the left: that smile had been his since he was twelve, and Sophie sometimes caught herself thinking it was the only thing about him that hadn’t changed at all. Everything else changed so fast she couldn’t keep up.
“Let’s go now, before it gets worse,” she said, taking the keys from their hook. “Otherwise you’ll be having philosophy for breakfast.”
“With you, I’ll never be lost.”
He said it lightly, in passing, pulling on his jacket — and didn’t notice he’d said it. But Sophie noticed. She noticed everything he said unintentionally: that’s where the truth lived, the truth he hadn’t yet seen himself.
With you, I’ll never be lost. That was how it was. There were two of them, and they had long since learned to be two against everything else — since that summer when they’d become two.
Liam had drowned when Dylan was only five — old enough to remember his father vaguely, as a warm presence and a smell, and not old enough to remember him properly. It happened on the water, on vacation, on a day that gave no warning; Liam was a strong swimmer, and that was the cruelty of it — that a strong swimmer, and calm water, and bright sun. Sophie, who could read someone else’s misfortune in a single movement of their shoulders, had read nothing that morning. The sea gave him back by evening, flat and indifferent, as if it had never taken him at all. After that she didn’t like water — not fear, no, she wasn’t the kind to allow herself fear in front of a child — she simply stopped going in past her knees.
