Lost Drabbles

by Haiza Tyri

One drabble for every episode of Lost. Every drabble is from the point of view of non-main-storyline-of-the-episode character and has to do with something other than the main storyline. Random subjects, largely examination of the corners of stories and investigation of characters' thoughts and motivations. Rated T, just in case. Never M, never slash, never rude language.

Impressions

An escaped murderer, a con artist, a failure, a paralyzed man, a dying woman, a food addict, an estranged father, an oppressive husband. The true identities behind the normal-looking people boarding a normal-looking plane bound for normal places. First impressions of a handsome man, a pretty girl, a warrior, a doctor, with ordinary lives and ordinary stories, are wrong.

So are second impressions. The murderer rushes to help and build. The con artist is a lonely orphan. The dying woman lives a long, happy life.

You are not the sum of first impressions, or even second. No one is ordinary.
