Chapter 2: The Stowaways Author's Note: Please note that in some spots of the below work, you'll find several deliberate misspellings of common words.

If there are any more spelling errors, you can blam...
Tracy was incredibly lucky. Escaping the fire from the sixth story of her apartment building would have been enough. A combination of careful planning, fortunate necessity, and simple good luck left her better off following the disaster than she'd ever hoped to dream of, prior to the fire. It was a coincidental meeting with a stranger at the storage buildi...
THE MIDDLE—CRIME AND PUNISHMENT It was somewhere around two o'clock in the morning and with the exception of just a few faint lights in the corridors, it was pretty dark. I could see silhouettes and shadows of what little there was to see in my ten by ten cell. With my arms folded behind my head, I was deep in thought rather than sleeping like I knew I shou...
