Justice for Snigglette.
Cool clouds today. Made me think of a new Sniglet. "Sighlight" The first day of summer that you consciously notice that the days are getting shorter.
Word for the day: Decaffitated
When the caffeine runs out and your head falls off. (Or just feels like it has.)
So, one thing I don't want to gloss over or erase in Annulos is mental health, specifically PTSD and related symptoms and disorders. Yeah, they probably have spacefuture antidepressants and access to therapy for anyone with mental health problems, but mental health disorders are wierdly insidious and persistent, and just saying 'humanity cured all mental health disorders' is both unrealistic and lazy.
So Lasky is 18-19 here, has probably been through some grief/trauma treatment before either finishing the military education started at Corbulo, or having been field commissioned because, y'know...war with aliens.

Numb. That was the word. Numb and empty. The edge of the bed came into focus as Thomas tried to force himself back to being self-aware. Dissociation, the psychiatrist had called it. The feeling like he was watching things from inside someone else's head, or watching himself from the ceiling.
It was a weird sensation; both comforting and somewhat disturbing. Like everything was real and tangible but him. On one hand it was a relief not to feel, but on the other hand, he knew it wasn't normal.
I wonder if Cad ever experienced this...or if he lived long enough to develop symptoms.
A dull, aching pressure slowly gripped Tom's chest as he found his way back into himself, and he suddenly wanted nothing more than to be held and told that everything would be alright, that his brother wasn't dead, that here had been a mistake. That Chyler had been found, that he, Orenski and Sullivan weren't the sole survivors of an entire planet...
Sniglets for 2018
Newsea [News-yah]: Nausea from watching the news.
Commentstipation: Uncomfortable, bloated, queasy feeling from reading the comments.
Sniglets
Courtesy Hustle: When a pedestrian hurries across a busy intersection while drivers are waiting for them to cross, especially if the drivers had stopped and waved them through.
Faux Courtesy Hustle: When a pedestrian crosses a busy intersection at a leisurely pace, but tries to give the impression they are hurrying, such as by swinging their arms faster.
New Sniglet. Tanana Lines - when you take the sticker off a ripe banana and see its still undarked skin underneath.
Yard o'clock: The gap of time on a summer weekend morning between when it's too early to run your mower, trimmer, etc., because it will disturb your neighbors, but before it gets too hot to do yardwork anymore. Typically 8am-ish to noonish.
