BtVS Drabble Prompt: Marathon
Apr. 20th, 2010 10:52 pmThey talk in clichés and inspirational quotes.
They tell her to keep fighting the good fight.
She’s learned the only good fight is one you walk away from.
They tell her to give it her all.
She’s given them everything she has.
They tell her to keep her eye on the prize.
She knows there’s no reward at the end.
They tell her life is a marathon, not a sprint.
She remembers the first marathon ended in death.
They tell her to never say die.
She dies over and over.
And another girl is forced to listen to their lies.
