    Beyond My Knowing, chapter 1

    She got up and set her sights on the far horizon again and kept walking. The longer she walked though, the more that energized feeling started to give way to an uncomfortable feeling instead, like it was too much of a good thing. As the day wore on into the afternoon, she started to sweat and to really feel the effects of so much exposure to the sun. Fatigue began to settle in and, since it was becoming increasingly clear to her that to keep going through heat like this would be a very bad idea, she made the practical decision to change course a little and go over to a rock formation that looked like it might offer shade from the sun.

    With relief, she sat down some half hour later in the shade and took off the clothing that had started to feel stifling and heavy. Her head felt light and a little fuzzy, not unlike the time Tae had convinced her to try some wine she’d stolen from her parents, so she took another sip of water and lay down to rest. She hadn’t expected to, but, almost the moment she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.

    She dreamt she was in a place full of green, growing things, and there was a spring of fresh, clean water to drink. Tae was there, like she always seemed to be in her dreams. They talked, like they always had, about everything and nothing at all. The world around them started to feel cool again, and, as it got cooler, Tae just seemed to fade away from her. Kes reached out after her, but then remembered herself and opened her eyes.

    She sighed and forced down the emotion that she felt inside her yet again. It was irrational to purposefully cause herself such anguish, she knew that… still, she couldn’t help wondering, for the thousandth time, what would have happened if she’d told her best friend that she loved her? Loved her, and not as a friend would, but… as much more, and far more deeply.

    It was useless though, wasn’t it? It mostly just simply hurt… hurt in a way that felt like it wasn’t ever going to stop…

    The world around her was in twilight, and there was enough light to see by, so she put her clothes back on, picked her things up, and decided to do some more walking while the climate was so temperate.

    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.
