   Summary

   The Ark was a relic from the past. The events that happened aboard the space colony tended to disagree with that statement, refusing to be forgotten from his hardened mind. He’s been hiding it all for years, keeping it all bottled up next to his bruised and broken heart. Trying to be normal despite himself, and failing miserably in the process.

   Things are changing. Suddenly thrust into confronting his memories head on, Shadow must learn to live above his past and eventually, live for the future.

   The Ark was a relic from the past.

   Shadow refused to be one, too.
