a/n: I decided to use another of the Scrubs prompts for this one. It's in first person again, and despite the fact that I haven't written Prentiss before, it was surprisingly easy. Easier than the boys. :)

Clear water rilling over its gray roots
Berries I'll find, and crabapples and nuts,
And call it home.

Where the viaduct looms,
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks.
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
In the humming wires.
-Nick Cave the Bad Seeds, "Red Right Hand
