That intro is chilling only because it's one of those irrational fear that I have. Muted but forced to live and you can't do anything about it. You can't escape. You can't fight it. Eugh. You wrote it both beautifully and painfully for me on my end haha.
NGL, when I started this IF, I wasn't expected where we would be and who we would be meeting however, I am not against it. A Sci-Fi themed story is not my usual go to but I love your writing so it was a pleasant experience! I wouldn't know where it would be going though. Out of all the ones listed (Though I haven't read Lab Rat yet and Daddy was a Killer) this is the one which has left my mind boggled because I really have no idea where it would go haha. Aside from accompanying the ship to tackle with the change in life, think about where to go or perhaps get comfortable with a found family. So many routes for this for sure and yet I draw nothing but blank!
It was such an interesting premise though! I definitely lean more on Moonlight Protocol if we're comparing these two are Sci-Fi but if this is more preferred by all then I'm happy to read it as well. ♥
