The Bird With Broken Wings

Sparrow is an alias. It belongs to someone who doesn't exist. Sparrow is a name that serves as an eternal reminder of what she's lost, and why she can't stop fighting. Sparrow simultaneously gives her a purpose, and takes her sense of purpose away.

Hazel is what she was called. Hazel was her name in the Before. Then there was the After. The After was when she adopted her Sparrow. Her alias that held an unbearable amount of meaning for her. She had already been through too much. But at least she had always had her best friend to get through it with her. Until she didn't. Until it was her fault she was alone. And everything fell to pieces.
