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
