The Gingerbread Man
Title: The Gingerbread Man
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Don't own them; just borrowing.
Summary: Kate, Aaron. Run, run, as fast as you can...
Spoilers: Eggtown et al.
Notes: For lost_in_108 #81, catch.
Aaron goes through a phase in which The Gingerbread Man is his favorite story. Kate has to read it every bedtime, over and over, until she can recite it without ever opening the book. He plays in the backyard and chants the refrain - run, run, as fast as you can - as he sprints from her, squealing laughter in his voice. She chases him but lets him win, always just out of her grasp. (She doesn't laugh.)
She dreams it, sometimes, his chanting voice - you can't catch me - and some nights, his voice is hers. She wakes in a cold sweat.
Nowhere to run, now (fast as you can).
