Okay, these were written for the 'Sailor Moon Monthly Fan Fiction Challenge' on Livejournal. From way back in May. And because only, like, three people read them over there, I've decided I'm going to post them here!
So please enjoy and feel free to leave some comment love, critism and all that awesome stuff. I will gladly accept whatever you have to say.

She stumbled over her own feet, sightless to the world around her. Her fingers trembled, itching to be distracted.
The mat beneath her proved uncomfortable as she dropped to it, jaw clenched and tongue swollen, eyes closed tight. Her hand felt blindly across the floor, until frail fingers discovered a string of slick beads, heavy in her palm.
Her heart shuddered painfully as she coaxed another fire to life, desperate for a warmth that she could never quite find.
The rosary wound tightly around her fingers, but she found no comfort, no promise; nothing.
Rei released the beads, heard them clank against the wooden floors, hollow and empty as she felt.
When she finally opened her eyes, the fire had died, nothing but the remains of a few golden embers burning beneath the ashes.
