Movie Memory
Grindhouse/Charmed.
Paige/Wray.
A movie makes her remember the past. Grindhouse Drabble.

We watched "Escape from LA" earlier. I almost broke down in tears at Snake Plissken. He didn't look like the man I was remembering, but he sure reminded me of him. Highly trained, shady, well-known. During the movie, I didn't speak, afraid if I did then I would cry.
I kept touching my leg. It's masked with magic now. My sisters don't know. They really know nothing about my past. When I saw my parents for the last few seconds, I kept wondering, what if he had just brought back Wray? Why couldn't he have just brought back my love?
Why couldn't I? Praya is four years old now. I go and see her almost every day in Mexico, with her back against the ocean. I won't ever tell anyone. The plague has only spread so far and doesn't infect everybody anymore. Just some people. The others from that town that we blew up are watching her.
It's just us two and though I do love my new sisters I know they don't really love me.
"It's just 2 against the world…. Baby."
And as I sit and watch, I wish there could be three. I cry at night. I can't always resist the tears.
