Notes: Written for ficlets100 on 8/4/12.
In her lucid moments she remembers times that were better, times when she was better. Those were times when she was a different person. She was River, a happy little River, a highly intelligent River, who often outdid her older brother. She adored her times with Simon - still does. They played together, conversed about trivial topics, shared smiles.
She thinks of her present too, and how different it is, how different she is. Her life now is needles, and memories that aren’t hers, and screams that aren’t there; meanwhile, Simon’s life’s on hold. Both desire normalcy that they’ll never have.
