Authors note: This one takes place during the Passing when the two survivor groups have met, etc etc. I own no one but Crystal like always! Enjoy!
Theme 14: Smile
Crystal had seen many smiles in her life time, but never had she seen such a diverse range of personalities that shone from behind them. Each of the people she's met so far had their own little smile or similar expression, including herself.
Coach had a soft one that showed his age and wisdom, from his years as a teacher.
Rochelle had one that showed whenever she was excited about something, usually some sort of information, leftover from her days working in the journalism field.
Ellis' showed how cheerful he always seemed to be, despite the nightmare that was the zombie apocalypse, and had a bit of child like humor to it.
Nick's was often sarcastic or cocky, and was more of a smirk than anything, but it was still real.
But her own...was still fake, as it had been for weeks. She couldn't remember the last time she'd really smiled, and she's gotten too used to the one she used now it seems. Someday she hopes for a reason to use a real smile again..but until then she'd relish in seeing her new friends with the expression on their face instead. It would have to be enough for now.
End of theme!
