Theme 11: Memory
During a long period of waiting while someone recovered from an injury worse than usual, they small group of 5 got to talking. Well, 4 of them did, Nick opted out of it, but did sit nearby against a wall listening to the rest talking. Coach, Rochelle, and Ellis took their turns talking about their best memories of before the infection. Then it was Crystal's turn.
"Well..? What was your best memory from before the infection?" Ellis asked her. Crystal looked at the ceiling briefly.
"I have many...but I guess of them all...my best was when I found out my dad was alive after 10 years of being alone. I was always close to him as a kid..and it was like a nightmare when my parents vanished when I was 6..." She sighed, then continued. "Then on my 16th birthday Sean took my to an amusement park he and friends banded together to get for us all to use without others around and told me to ride the ferris wheel, in car 16. I didn't know it at first, but on the other side of the 'car' I was in was my dad, arms crossed, just waiting for me to see him. When I finally did I thought I was dreaming...before remembering I was awake. When I realized fully who the orange haired man was across from me, the same blue eyes as mine looking back, I about passed out. I was over there and hugging him before I knew it. That's...my bets memory I think.." She blushed a little as Ellis awwed a little bit.
Nearby Nick had his head turned away from them, but the corner of his mouth turned up just slightly. He just wished he had good memories like they did, but to his knowledge he didn't.
End of theme!
