Ok, I noticed everyone was writing a fic from Willows perspective..I've decided to write from Tara's. Hope this doesn't come off too much like a bad trip.
Title: Abyss
Author: Banshee
distribution: Take it, don't claim it.
rating: PG
Synopsis: Inside Tara's mind after being braindrained by Glory.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my collection of Ani difranco Cd's, my playstion and my sanity. All characters depicted within belong to Joss Whedon and co.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The walls feel hot-smothering. A thousand times a thousand screams ricochet around them.
Her. She. Willow. I know her~she is the one who will save us. Save myself from the inferno.
Day. Dark. There are forks at the end of the pink jelly. I feel it when it moves. Is it part of me?
The kitten. Mother. Another, not mine. Preserved in youth. Bathing in the fountain, in the desert.
'Time, time, time what will become of me..?'
Painted syringes drain my being. Chang dynasty dragon. 'They'll all die!' All die, all die. We all fall down.
Down the yellow bring road. Oz. Not Oz. Emerald green light-a key to the city.
More pink jelly on my face. Her. She. Willow. "Everything." "Always."
More green gnats in my eyes. Goddess Diana. God Draga. All fallen from grace. Fallen from glory.
The lights go off and on. Close my eyes. The light is still on. A refrigerator without any food.
'I beg thee, on my journey quest
Engulf me in your protection
of white light'
Mother? Apples. Worms burrow in apples. Slither trails of life.
Warmth from her. She.
"Willow?"
"I love you, Tara."

*~*~*~*~* I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones *~*~*~*~*
