Didn't Have it in Myself

"I didn't have it in myself to go with grace."

What would you do if you had to make the tough choice of living the life you wanted but risking your loved one's in the process or sacrificing that life to save them? For the Traveler, the answer was obvious, but it didn't hurt any less.

This story follows the Traveler after her choice to fake her death. Written in the first person with a style mimicking that of Junot Diaz, we see her thoughts and regret firsthand.

After all, it's not every day you fake your death.
