A collection of 100-word drabbles I occasionally post on my Tumblr account. Themes and characters range throughout the whole series, prequel and sequel stories included.

It was one of the famous human sayings; just when you thought things couldn't get worse, they did.

Falling from ease to slight concern to anxiety seemed far from murder yet. Then, she did not expect death to be emotional torture – eternal until rebirth, and being killed again.

Die and be done with it did not fit her. Being a potato did – feeling powerless, unearthing memories. All along, with burning humiliation.

But when that door slammed shut, and then only, she understood. The truly worst part had been feeling something at all.

And the worst, she knew, would stay forever.
