    Beyond My Knowing, chapter 1

    She picked up her things, turned on the flashlight, and walked out over the rocks into the night.

    Soon, the terrain turned from rocks to sand and she knew this must be the great desert the world had been left as in the before time when disaster had come and the Caretaker had saved her ancestors by secreting them down into the world and building them a place to live – a sanctuary city.

    She looked off into the distance and could see nothing but the darkness, stretching on before her. She decided then that it would be best to find a good place to sleep until the sun came and she could truly see the world around her in more than just the glimpses her flashlight afforded her.

    She walked around the rocks for a ways, felt the night air start to turn cooler. It would probably get cooler still, without the sun’s warmth. She soon found a small rock ledge with a place underneath that looked about her size. She took out her sleeping gear and settled in for the night, taking only a small sip of her water. She had enough food and water with her to last a month, if she were careful. If she couldn’t find water or food out here in that time, she’d have to go back.

    Her bedding set, she snuggled in for the night and fell off to sleep easily.

    Her dreams were peaceful and hopeful. Upon waking, she couldn’t remember them clearly, only that Tae had been there with her and they’d been happy. She wiped the sleep from her eyes and sat up and thought about her dream. She drew her legs up to her and felt a few tears come to her eyes. Then lay her head down on her knees and closed her eyes against them, thinking how foolish she still probably was. She’d thought it was possible to have a future with her best friend, and now she still thought it was possible to have a future on the barren surface of her planet. Maybe she was simply setting herself up for disappointment again? Or maybe… maybe her people were right, and those like her were defective in some way after all. She’d never thought so before, but… maybe this was the proof?

    1. I loved voyager and was a bit sad that it wasn’t about the ship and crew but Kes was always one of my favorites. I’m late to the party but can’t wait to catch up.
      thanks for writing. It’s fantastic so far.
