[10-May-2016] [Metall/u/rgy] Ironed Out
Title: Ironed Out
Prompt: 10-May-2016 "always the same routine. Always the same room. But, from the single high window in that room, I could see the stars slowly change their positions every night"
Based on: Metall/u/rgy
Characters: Iron, Nickel
Type: Angst?/humor; 100 words
Warnings: None.
Nickel stopped by Iron's executive office before heading home for the day. She found Iron standing at her office window and staring at the late-evening sky.
"Are you OK, boss?" Nickel asked gently.
Iron sighed. "I'm tired, dear. I think I'm starting to 'burn out'."
"You'll never burn out," Nickel said admiringly. "You're as sure and steady as the stars in the sky."
"Ah," Iron said, "but those stars will eventually run out of nuclear fuel, and the brightest will end with an iron core under unimaginable pressure, and then EXPLODE."
"Maybe you ARE working too hard," Nickel said nervously.
