Howling Winds, Part 1
It was an absolute struggle to close my eyes against the onslaught of the pervasive howling winds. Even worse, I needed to dodge the unrelenting airborne razor-sharp glass shards and twisted-jagged metal. What good would I be to the mission if I died within the first 5-minutes?

The gift of being introverted…
I’m not going to lie. I definitely identify as being introverted, albeit a confident introvert. That’s not to say I really enjoy other people’s company and can handle being front and centre (for a time). I love people.
