These are two very different pieces of flash fiction. I wrote "Hawk" first. The character in "Hawk" took on a life of her own at the end of the story, when she transforms and flies away. The second, "Abandoned In Flight", was inspired by the last line of "Hawk". I had re-read "Hawk" several times, feeling the cadence of the story, and after the third or fourth time through wrote "Abandoned In Flight". I think, but cannot be certain, that they are the same woman. I find some strange comfort in that. Perhaps it holds the promise of redemption. I will never know, but I would like to think so.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
