Starlight, Starbright

The journey out to the Caodage system had taken three months, during which, while I'd been in stasis, the computers had been calculating the data needed to get it right.


Once I'd unfrozen and gotten back to full capacity, I had a week to prepare and launch.


I prepared the device and shot it towards the star, and set a course for the next system.


It would supernova after I'd left, as I hopped back home, all the supernovas spelling out my marriage proposal to her in the night sky. That would make up for the hundred years of freezing.
