Chapter 1
Kristina gently rocked Skylar in her arms as she gazed out the window of the lunar base. She could see the earth clearly; desolate and depleted, looking like it had just been put through a minefield. The date was November 8
th
2040 and Kristina had given birth to Skylar about two weeks ago. Ray had kept his promise to Darius and had been protecting Kristina and the baby. He even helped deliver the child as Kristina struggled with the excruciating pain of her first childbirth.
Life in the lunar base was certainly better than life on earth, but that wasn’t really saying much. The base was broken up into five sections, the central headquarters (which was essentially the capital city), and the North wing, East wing, South wing and West wing. The entire base was attached and once you were inside you could breathe without the assistance of a space suit. Kristina had a small room on the South wing of the base. Each wing had their own cafeteria where they are served two meals a day; one at nine for breakfast and one at six for supper. The food was bland and horrible and Kristina was craving a home cooked meal more than anything in the world.
Kristina would often longingly look out the window, praying that Darius was safe. She doubted she would ever get to see him again, but anytime this cruel, dark thought popped into her head, she had to shift her attention to something else or she would break down in tears.
