Standalone novella. A Mind to Escape includes two variations of the same telling. A Mindless Escape and A Mindful Escape. A fast paced, mild, Stockholm Syndrome romance in a sci fi setting. This is a short and easy read that allows you to compare the two tellings so you can pick your favorite and annotate the differences between them.
This is not part of a series, it is a single story.
Waking up to having been abducted by aliens isn't the start of a great day.
At least one of them has the decency to feel bad about this and rescue me.
He says I might never be the same because of the experiments they did.
But it's not stopping him from trying to get us somewhere safe.
Is there anywhere left that's safe?
It's not like my life on Earth was so great that I just have to get back to it.
And it turns out that me escaping is a bigger problem than we thought because now they are trying to kill us.
Hiding out on some planet, just trying to stay under the radar, I keep having reactions from whatever they screwed up in me.
Why is my rescuer treating me like a breakable vase?
And making me talk nicer to myself?
I am broken.
I know that, I've been dealing with it.
Or at least I've been trying to.
But the worst part is that I can't stand him being so understanding about it.
Am I more broken now because of what someone else has done to me?
Or because of what I've done to myself?
