in the summary are from Tracy Chapman's "The Promise."  This can be
considered part ten of my Refuge series (sequel to Always Remember),

Held Constant


I don't dare move... the one time I opened my eyes was enough to tell
me I wasn't on Enterprise or the Xindi weapon... or any Earth I know.
If not for the unrelenting pain, I'd call it a hallucination, a
nightmare...

I just need to stay alive. I know I'm alone here, but don't know where
'here' is, exactly... or when. Has it been days, weeks... longer?

I didn't expect to survive. It's probably assumed I didn't. I can only
trust that Malcolm's heart tells him otherwise... and he follows it to
find me...

...still longing for him.
