The nightmare I’d been having for the last several months was of my last night in the colony, the night it was destroyed. But one question remained: how was I here? The shadows left no one alive, and yet, here I was, as I had been the last ten years.
My mind turned the face of my attacker over and over, struggling to find some way of fitting the two halves of my life together in a way that made sense. The face seemed somehow familiar, but I couldn’t place it. I looked abruptly to Ethan, my face riddled with confusion, but I saw that he was already looking straight at me, as if expecting me to realize something. In an instant, the final piece of this puzzle crashed into place. ETHAN!
