Awayfromthesun (2013)
“She had become accustomed to the process and found it easier to shift each time. She could complete the transition almost instantly now as she’d just done to fly away from Trip. Tears formed in her heart, but in her shifted form she could not cry, as if her soul had become empty. She did things as Shadow that simply were not possible in human form such as moving through solid objects and assuming the identity of whichever shadow she borrowed.
