"A wonderful addition to the science fiction romance genre, Stay In The Light teaches us that even those who seem unredeemable can be saved."--Romance Review

Chapter 1

It was the chance I'd been waiting for--the chance to escape TRF, the Talent Research Facility that had held me captive for so many years. A heavy electrical storm had passed through and this time shorted out a power grid, knocking out service to the housing wing of the facility. It would only be a split-second before backup power engaged, and in that chance-of-a-lifetime moment, I'd make my move.

My heart was pounding with the anticipation of an escape from this facility--this scientific prison. The night duty TRF associates manager shouted orders to the others, making sure the system would come back online correctly and lockdown would be secure. The lights dimmed and flickered, then went out. The familiar hum of the security system to the individual housing doors paused as the power ceased. I pulled my door open just enough to keep it from locking back down.

The other participants picked up on this opportunity as well. Their yells and shrieks resounded off the walls as they ran from their rooms. This freedom sent some of them into a frenzy--running through the halls, frantically searching for a further way out. This was the type of reaction I'd hoped for. The night duty associates went scrambling for those who were loose, leaving my area clear for my own escape.

It was in this madness that I kept my calm. I quickly went to my closet and grabbed the small bundle of belongings I had already prepared for such a moment as this, and I left my room dressed in a TRF associate's required attire that I had hidden away months before. I grabbed the set of backup key entry cards that someone had pulled out due to the storm, along with a clipboard from one of the night stations, and then looking like a concerned professional TRF associate, I began my flight to freedom.

I made my way out of the facility in the cover of darkness, walking part of the length of the air landing field before I saw it: a small transport shuttle with the words "Javelin-Star" on the side. The shuttle waited silently on the mostly unlit tarmac, its outer landing lights glowing a soft orange as if beckoning me to board. It was strange that a shuttle was here in the middle of the night, in pre-flight standby, with hardly any landing beacons lit. But that would only be in my favor, and I didn't think another thing about it as I quickly slipped aboard...
