Ash was just a young girl who never knew her parents. However,she didn't stay a female forever. That's right,Ashlynn Burns knew deep in herself that she was meant to be a male. So,that's what she accomplished. She,or he,cut his hair and used ducktape (secretly) for a binder. And thought that he was going to rot in the orphanage. Especially once he hit his fourteenth birthday. As each day went by,Ash had to watch as smaller,younger children got adopted by happy families looking for a child or two. And his escape from his depression was to watch interviews on five pilots that returned to space. His dream was to meet them in person,and even wished that he would become a child of their's,but he knew it was a long shot. Let's just say he got one of the best birthday presents of his life.
