A/N: For P100 challenge 214: And Then There Were None. Angsty. Thanks to Fred for looking it over for me.


How long could we go on like this? How many more times could we break? How many times could we piece everything back together and expect it to hold?

I just didn't know.

We staggered from one disaster to another. The list of the dead and missing grew with each anomaly. Hart. Cutter. Abby. Connor. Danny. Sarah. How many more?

Even Becker's resignation only surprised me by how long he struggled with his guilt. I didn't try to convince him to stay.

What was the point?

We had been shut down. Now no one was left to bar the gates.

Eek! That's more angsty than a very angsty thing . . . It works well in first person.

The angst bunny wanted to play, I'm afraid, and I won't let it into my two drabble-verse (yet), so it made me write this ;) Glad you liked it, and that the first person worked.
