Bio
I have been writing for about 20 years, off and on. It’s been one of few things that has always made me happy. That and music and reading. I’m really hoping that joining this forum can help me find my way back there!

Finding Home
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. As Rayne tumbled through the emptiness of space, her screams were anything but silent. Her screams were everywhere, surrounding her. So many thoughts and questions were clanging through her mind. She had been rejected, thrown out, abandoned by her crew, her family. Tears streamed down her face. She should be dead. Everything she knew about space told her she should be dead. Her screams should be silent. She shouldn’t be crying. The end was supposed to be quick and silent and painless. There was no pain, but her fear was overwhelming.

The Beginning...
Sylvia walked to the edge of the reservoir spillway. The snows were beginning to melt and the first of the Spring rains had started to fall. The water was rushing out of the wide opening into the river so quickly she could have been standing at the edge of a waterfall. She let the sound of the rushing waters wash over her and the cool night seep into her veins, letting it wash away the pain that brought her to this place. She had come here so often over the years; sometimes to gaze at the dark sky dusted so beautifully with stars, or just to cry into the darkness and sometimes to question whether the world would be better off without her in it. Tonight was one of those nights.
