Ink

Some moments shape a life forever.

Eighteen year old Ashkar Ravindra has everything going for him. School is over, the Fleet Academy awaits, and before duty takes over, he has time for one last trip into the mountains in the brand new flitter his father gave him as a graduation present.

It should have been a last taste of freedom before the future he was born to claim.

Instead, jealousy and hidden motives turn a pleasant hunting trip into a fight for survival.

Set before the events of Morgan’s Choice, Ink is a short science fiction story about danger, privilege, betrayal, and the split-second decision that marks the making of a future admiral.
