Uncivilized

I was tasked by my best friend to deliver a final message of goodbye to those he had once left behind. Despite my grief, I made it to a strange, dangerous planet with the letter ready for them to read and my promise fulfilled to my dead friend.
Having done what was asked of me, I expected to leave but, as my brother used to say, tell the universe your plans and watch it laugh at you.


Now I’m stuck on a planet for six weeks where the veneer of civilization is easily wiped away, with four former Super Soldiers who don’t know quite what to do with me, and more danger every time I turn around.


But there is something about them that calls to my soul, that makes me want to soothe them, and invites me to trust them in a way I never have anyone before. My life isn’t my own. I will have to go back to my own home and leave them behind, yet each day I know them the idea of doing that becomes even more unfathomable.



My name is Raven. I’m just a girl lost on a strange world surrounded by danger, wondering why a planet I never knew existed can suddenly feel like home.
