The Loudest Unspoken

In this short tale, we experience not just the beginning and the end of an affair, but also the seeming randomness of things. In the midst of grief, we often ask questions that have no clear answers--not knowing that sometimes the answer lies within ourselves.And that this lesson in letting go, as our narrator belatedly learns, is as important as keeping love between two people alive.Kira has built up a reputation as a transporter and escort. She takes on a contract to work her way into a pirates nest. However her audacity, skill and ability enable her to make rapid progress within the pirate ranks. Does she complete her contract, or turn coat and stay within the ranks. Only time will tell.
