Bravery Part II Days turned to weeks. Weeks into months. Please, Cen thought, if there is anybody out there, please don't let it turn months into years. The boy tied down the heavy tarps to the Secret Base and...
Bravery

Chapter 8 - Oh, Brothers

Chapter 3 - It's a Living
**Chapter 3: It's a Living** It's funny, but I used to sleep better when I was covered in soot, had barely a cot for a bed, and zero privacy. I even slept better than I did now when I was on the ship. However, ever since I had landed in...
Chapter 2 - Old Wounds
**Chapter 2 - Old Wounds** "You look like you've seen a ghost, Simon." "What the hell is this...?" I said, swallowing as I got onto my knees in the dusty old building. I stared at someone I had never expected to ever see again. A person...
Chapter 1 - Hollow
**Burn Down the Tower: Chapter 1 - Hollow** "Good god, man! Just how long can you hold your breath?" the strained voice above me said through a heated pant. I could feel the hands on the back of my skull, my hat having long since fallen...
Chapter 13 - Codes
