    FREEDOM OF CHOICE. THE POWER OF LOVE. THEY’RE GIVEN ONE LAST CHANCE. When I met Judah Colt, I knew his presence in my life would change everything.My gut told me to run before it was too late, and while I did the best I could to keep him at arm’s length, our connection became too powerful to deny. Too real to push away.We fell hard.Then we crashed and burned to ashes.And now—after the rug had been torn from beneath me, yet again—I was beginning to think I was made for this. Born to walk this path full of unspeakable pain and unanswered questions, if only to learn the taste of my own strength and witness the tenacity of my soul.But I never stopped wondering…where was my happy ending?Where was Judah’s?Did we get one?My Skyscraper was broken, damaged, sick, but at one point, so was I. And with the help of those around me—with the unconditional love of my chosen family—I’d learned that brokenness was a choice. It wasn’t a sealed fate or a final death sentence. Healing was available if I wanted it, and while I held onto that realization with both hands, Judah could never manage to do the same.Now? It was his only option.I didn’t know what would happen next—had no way of predicting the future—but after months of endless heartbreak, after cleaning up the destruction that came with Judah’s addiction, I knew one thing for sure: I’d be damned if I didn’t close out this chapter of my life with a settled heart and a smile on my face.The rest was up to him.We are Phoenix and Judah.Baby Bird and her Skyscraper.This is the conclusion of our story, and it could either be our new beginning…or our final end. This book contains extremely triggering topics—including addiction, suicide, child abuse, neglect, and strong language—and is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18.

    Level one is the most common, possible evidence. Level two, clear evidence of non-human intelligence. Level three is verified signs of non-human intelligence. Level three has a very high burden of proof, requiring verified artifacts. It is the last step before level four. Contact.Centuries ago, Humanity reached for the stars. But the galaxy has turned out to be a lonely place. The Imperial Survey Service explores systems and identifies planets for colonization beyond the edge of explored space, beyond the rim worlds. They also search for signs of an alien civilization. It is a part of their mission they take very seriously.A routine planetary survey mission to system X5682 believes they have found clear evidence of intelligent activity. The usual reports are made. Protocol demands that any reports of potential intelligent activity be investigated. A small fleet task force is dispatched. Their job is to secure the system. Task force Marines secure the site until Imperial Survey can verify the find. The routine has been played out many times, and always ends the same way. No scientific findings, an explainable phenomenon, no confirmation.Until now.The survey team leader is elated by his potential discovery. It is an elation the fleet task force commander does not share. His captains are also ambivalent, save one who is out to prove himself.Unfortunately, the fleet task force has to be to be cobbled together from people unfortunate enough to delay too long before proceeding on shore leave. The Marines are not exactly welcome in the midst of a group of scientists who are used to being immersed in their research on a new planet.The Imperial Fleet mostly keeps the peace and war is a faded memory. That means resources are tight and ships stay in service a long time. The task force that arrives is not exactly in perfect condition. Even the Marines have to be pulled from different ships and base assignments. Everyone expects a short mission once they reach the planet. All they have to do is wait for the specialist team from the Imperial Survey Service to show up and declare another potential find to be nothing after all.Unexpectedly, without warning, humanity makes first contact. Elation turns to desperation and a fight for survival. The Globur are coming.
