03. Condemn me to live, Condemn me to lie. Inside?--I am dead..

. . .Its been almost two weeks? Maybe. I am not sure of time--oh wait. Guess it has been perhaps.
I have kept myself away from everyone. I've seen the posts, listen to the footsteps down the hall. The knocks at the door and locked it so no one can come in. Even went so far as to drape a sheet over the window to my bedroom.

Nice, Barbara. Very nice. I get a little breather from my current waking nightmare to see this. I love you, too.

We didn't intend to hurt you. But we didn't want to make a decision for you, so we tried to give you a few more minutes. I'm sorry that you're upset by it, but there wasn't a lot of time for dithering.

Get over the self-pity. I don't have the patience for it right now. You are not now, and have never been useless.

"Never have I seen you EVER go down without a fight. OUR BRUCE didn't teach us that. To just lay down and take it. Self-pity my ass, I'm just ngghh!! FORGET IT!"

Brbara--there wasn't any choice--any point in fighting. You know that. We all did. I wanted to die with my friends. You can't blame me for that.

[There is a pause as then a low, dark tone, sounding a bit far off but can still be heard.]

"Then you and Dick are the lucky ones, aren't you. For in the end, I didn't get to....Twice."

[The sound of the wheels of her chair moving before more silence.]

::imapatient voice:: Barbara--there wasn't time to discuss in committee what were were doing. You hadn't decided, so we tried to give you a little more time. I'm sorry.
