A few days ago, my friend Laurel told me about a dream that she had. The premise, she explained, had something to do with pirates in the time of Les Mis. One specific visual she had was of a woman tied to a burning ship. I couldn’t possibly turn up that kind of visual without giving this woman some kind of story. I set myself to telling this character’s story and was very excited about what came from it. I couldn’t not share it with all of you!
