Alexander Fullerton: Surface!

He looked down at her bow again, and he thought: You don’t give a damn, do you? You won’t mind being scrapped. They’ll tear you up and make your steel into cars and tractors and cutlery, and maybe one day I’ll ride a bicycle and it’ll be a part of you.

Whatever they make of you, he thought, it’ll be good.
