Jaydium
“Without dust to burnish it to eye-searing gold, the dawn glowed with a gentle, lingering light. Below her, the bushes covering the scrubjet looked soft, like brushed velvet.
She could not stay hidden long, she knew. Brianna would have metal detection scanners and any search would pick up the scrubjet. But first they’d have to know what area to fly over and she was a long way from the Manitous. She had time before they came after her...if they did. Time to think, time to decide. Time, but no...t much food or water.
Kithri jerked her hand away from her mouth before she could chew off another fingernail. It’s time to make up your mind. Do you want to be on your own again, maybe forever alone, or are you going back to deal with Eril?
No, the problem wasn’t Eril, although thinking about him sometimes left her feeling she’d gotten caught in a coriolis storm. He hadn’t dumped her on Stayman to rot. In fact, he’d offered her a decent way out and she’d been too ratshit scared to take it.MoreLess
