Two Sentence Horrors.

The title should be the first sentence, while the body should be the second.

Keep it spooky.

I have three generations worth of time before this defunct ship's orbit sends us straight into the sun, and I don't plan on spending it alone.

I was imagining a scenario where that wouldn't be possible, where the main drive would be offline and the equipment and ressources on board wouldn't be meant for such complicated repairs. It's hard to convey in two sentences and I could only really slip in the word "defunct".

That being said, so much time does really give possibility to it or at least a rescue. I should have picked a smaller time-frame, like 20. It makes his action all the more horrible as well, since three generations is a chance at life while 20 years is just a death sentence.
