Lion’s Heart Volume I: Avalee Fray-McCroskey

The silence in the air is painful

When will we be rescued?

Where is the ship?

My dream of rescue is falling like the violent

crash of the waves against the rocks

This isolation is infinite

The division of the hopefuls and the

Thinkers is greater than ever
