Colony Girl: Citadel

By J. Kevin Tumlinson

LIES CAN TAKE YOU PLACES

Sylar just wanted to impress the guys. It wasn't until everything blew up that he figured he should rethink things.

So he fibbed a little. Maybe he didn't acutally have a girlfriend in the Colonies. So what

Now, as Sylar careens out of control in a makeshift space craft, surfing a wave of debris, he's really starting to rethink some of his life choices.

Colony Girl is a short story set in the Citadel Universe.
