A/N: For the P100 challenge 185 Children. Angst. Thanks go to Luka for the beta.

He wakes in a cold sweat and shivers in the night, the screams of the children still echoing in his ears.

He knows there was nothing he could have done for them, but that didn't mean he'd given up on them.

He should have done more, much more and now he'd had the chance.

One day he'll figure out what he should have done differently.

One day he will make the correct choice to set it right and there won't be any screams.

One day soon and the nightmares will be all that is left of what shouldn't have happened.

I can't help but think this is what Helen meant in the s2 finale by bringing them all back.

very great work.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

It could have been, couldn't it. Thanks.

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Very angsty with a glimmer of hope.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I do seem to write angst, but I'm sure he will succeed.

Aw. It could be any of them. (Well, any of the men...)
*hugs them*
Great atmosphere.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* It could be, I did consider making it first person. Whoever it is needs a hug. Thanks for reading.

*pets tel* Good to know it worked. Thanks.

[fredbassett]

That was great. Very vivid and very angsty.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Glad the atmosphere worked, and I do seem to go angsty.

Eeeek - I can imagine most of the Primeval guys thinking that! Very vivid

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I couldn't decide who it was and then decided to go with any of them, as it could be most of them.

[cordeliadelayne]

Oh, eek! Very haunting.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it will be OK in the end. Thanks.

Eeek! *shivers*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee. Although I'm sure it will turn out fine (maybe).
