SAMUEL
stretch out my life & pick the seams out
To say that Sam was conflicted would be an understatement.
It had already been a draining time to begin with: He had decided to break things off with Loren and that choice had sent him on a whole journey of wondering if he was destined to be alone forever, he was finding himself unable to engage properly with his work; the Ascended meeting could not have come at a worse time. It was clear Wessex was unhappy with him, to say the least. How everyone else felt he wasn't sure, but ultimately there was one opinion that mattered to him more than anyone elses: The Voice. She had given them a choice, but would she be disappointed in him for voting 'incorrectly'? To be the only one that had tipped the balance and made it so they couldn't fight? (Though he wasn't quite sure why the Ascended didn't just ignore his vote and continue without him: maybe because they were actually smart enough to know the majority of them would not survive). The whole thing left him shaken and full of questions. He had initially come to the shrine just to feed, but found himself kneeling down before the statue and deciding he had to ask the questions that were swimming around his head. "Mother, are you there? I need to talk with you." take what you like, but close my ears and eyes,
watch me stumble over and over. |
not so hot on why

The thing that appears to Sam isn't the Voice. If it were to be compared to any one thing, spirit may be most accurate. "She isn't listening." It sounds like a chorus of children's whispers, like leaves shaking in a breeze. "She doesn't care." It sounds petulant and put-upon, though it brightens considerably. "You care, don't you, Sam? You care so much. Do you care about us?"

"Mean! You're mean, Sam!" The whispers turn to hiccuped sobs now, the childlike voices clearly hurt. Listening to them Sam will feel his own eyes start to well up, and tears upon his cheeks. "All we wanted was for someone to care about us, but you don't care. Just like her."

"NO!" Gone are the whispers: instead a howl envelops Sam, the sound of weeping carried by the wind now interspersed with rain. "You're just like her! She doesn't care about you, and you don't care about us! You only care about yourselves! So fine! Be alone!" A final gust of wind lashes around the bookmaker, and then the shrine is silent. Sam will find himeslef very much alone, and feeling very, deeply lonely for the rest of the day.
