He’d be surprised if a single bone remained unbroken. Each drop joined a growing pool surrounding his bare feet. It contained more blood from the three men lying motionless on the cold vinyl floor than his own.

Cassian-13: Chapter Links
Author's note: The world was built, but I wasn't exactly sure what story to tell. Then, I wrote Cassian-13: The Turn which opened up many questions. I thought it might be fun to write a longer story one segment at a time and post them in Chapters. And now that I have a vague outline, it's something that might be doable. As I've seen many other creators on here do to keep things organized, this will be where I keep the story together.

The Photograph
I return exhausted after submitting a watertight report on the lost rover. I get back to the dwelling before Dr Cho and take the stair two at a time as I ascend. Picking up the carafe of water by my bed, I quickly cross the hallway into Dr Cho’s bedroom. It’s sparsely decorated, clinical and void of personal effects. I don’t have time to linger as I swop her carafe with mine, however I notice a photo frame face down on the side table. I turn it over to see an image of the doctor and a teenage girl. They smile at the camera as the doctor wraps her arms around the girl’s shoulders from behind. There is no doubt in my mind it’s her daughter. The similarities are astounding. I leave the room and make myself a coffee in the replicator downstairs and wait until she arrives home.
