In The Beginning

10. In The Beginning

Inara wakes with a staggering certainty that it is time for her to leave.
She knows that she cannot stay here any longer. Can’t take this miserable tabulation of days. Can’t stare at the inevitable.
It doesn’t matter where she will go. But it will be somewhere were no one knows the doom hanging over her head.
When she sees the derelict firefly class vessel in the shipyard it’s as if she’s found a kindred spirit.
And when she inquires of the taciturn Captain what she is called Inara finds there is something mordant about a dented relic called Serenity.
