In the Black and Dark Night

This is just an ending, if you will, to "Sticky Wicket, Newkirk." In it, Newkirk lies in his bunk, contemplating the whole ordeal that has happened that day. He is unable to sleep despite the exhaustion he feels, overcome by emotions and fear. In the end, he gets comfort from a friend. This is not slash. (This is still a one-shot. The new "chapter" is the story rewritten.)
