A bleak sky, grey, dull. Serenity curls and twists and floats through the gathering storm clouds. Dives. Straightens. Keeps flying.

Symmetry. Balance. Wash flies her well and Serenity rewards them with stability. She stays strong, won’t break. Fights the wind and the forces of nature, of the storm. Growing by the minute. Thick. The storm is getting closer.

Clouds thickening, blanketing, puffs of white. Serenity flies, mighty. River hears her humming, groaning. Protesting, but not stopping. The ship knows not how to give up. Stays strong. Beat by the wind and pounding rain. Flashes of light in the distance.

River trails her fingers along Serenity’s inside. Silver, cold. Colder than the storm outside. Warm near to the engine room, the heart. The storm rages on and Serenity and her crew wait it out and fly onwards.
