Hope in the Dark

[shadowwolf13]

Tiane can feel the wind rushing past her so despite the pitch black she can tell that she is falling. It’s interminable with no sense of time. She starts to stretch out her hands and feet, to feel if there is anything around her. Then she realizes that if there is something she is likely to break something given the apparent speed of the breeze

I was drawn in by the surreality of this, but I stayed because of Tiane's attitude--i.e. counting steps, hoping despite the evidence.

I really don't think she knows how to give up. She's the little voice in my head that just keeps moving forward, no matter what.

Thank you so much for reading. :)

This has a very nice fable-esque feel to it, and I enjoyed the description of falling very much. It was a great addition to your preceding story.

Thank you so much!! I was really hoping that I'd be able to return to this story and see more of Tiane's adventures. I'm super glad it worked out. :)

"Not yet" is not the same as 'never,' and because none of those people have died despite being there for perhaps centuries... there is always still hope that they might all be saved.

Very true :) I share Tiane's hope that they'll return to the world they came from, one way or another.

I am glad you continued the story from last week. I am also glad that Tiane is not going to give up hope.

I was really hoping to be able to do so, I wanted to know more too. :laugh: Somebody has to be a light in the darkness. :)
