Out of the Fog and Into the Sun
At the very bottom of the metal box lay a yellowed photo.
In the photo, a teenage girl was hugging a little boy, and they were both smiling brightly.
That was my brother, Sunny.
Before becoming Tatiana Buzzelli, I scraped by in the Southeast Darland black market. I didn't even have a name.
There was nothing I wouldn't do to earn money to save Sunny's life.
I committed every sin imaginable, long past the point of redemption.
Night after night, Sunny would wake up, shaken by nightmares.
He'd hold my hands and cry. "I'm scared. I don't want you to kill anymore. Can we leave, please?"
