Aternative Ending
Drown As Ash
Since she writes out of her experiences, her enemies that are still alive
are upset over things she has written and so start to try to get back at her.
She has to go back out into the field and fend them off. One day she sees
photos of herself online that are of her face or have been altered and put
into composites photos. As a writer but former spy she never attends
conferences and allows no photos of her on her books. Only her psuedonym
is listed in reviews. These photos could be damaging to her career and life, if
governments and intel agencies see her. If caught by more powerful forces, the
information she has, if forced out of her could endanger the lives of
collegues and even whole populations. This especially since she knows so
many formulas for deadly technology.
In the end, in order to eliminate this possibility, sadly, Sidney
decides to kill herself. It is the only way to save others from certain
disaster.
Before she does she fakes an accidental house fire burning all her
papers documents formulas -anything that could be ill used by the enemy.
Every picture of friends, family, collegues, with and without her and of
herself alone is eliminated to prevent association with her who are still
alive.
Finally she goes out to sea in a small boat. She starts to burn the boat
before shooting herself in it. This is her wake. The boat finishes burning
and then falls into the sea. And Sidney drowns as ash.
