A light appeared, a small pinprick of hope? It grew ever larger. In the darkness it was difficult to determine if the light was coming closer or if she was moving towards it. A gentle breeeze brushed her cheeks, her fall seemed to slow then stop.
The light suddenly exploded with stunning brillance, followed by a deafening sound.
The young girl slowly stood. Encapsulated, she was surrounded by a blanket of stars. Alone.
Her small ship floated through space in a timeless void. Alone.
