No Heroes
Part 3: Memory's crooked lane

by null0trooper

Some people come to Academy because they need to, some come because they are needed. How far a person will go for a second chance can be as revealing as a light in the darkness. A candle ground underfoot along the way tells a darker, but no less important, tale. Which will you choose to remember when your own book is signed and closed?

"I've been a fool, I've been cruel to myself
I've been hanging onto nothing
When nothing could be worse than hanging on"
— Ruth Moody, "Heaven When We're Home"
