****
She's been living a borrowed life.
She knew what treason meant. She'd acted on impulse, but once it was past she'd realized the implications. She never thought of flight; she could at least face death with honor, though there'd been little in the life she'd thrown away. She'd been prepared, if not resigned, until a rebel spy with a lockpick opened the door.
She would have died the next day.
Now she's the only one left. So she closes her eyes to the empty horizon, wraps her arms around herself like an embrace, and steps backward into the waiting nothingness.
