Farscape 100 word drabble
Drabble challenge at scifiland. Exact 100 words and the theme beginning. I chose Farscape of course.
Unlocking her manacles he had told her she could be so much more. That she could be more than a soldier, more than duty. He was right of course, but with him gone she feels like she has lost everything. Her struggle for change doesn't matter anymore when he isn't by her side. Her blood and breeding is all she has left. So she puts on the leather vest, pulls her hair back into a tight braid and holsters her gun. A soldier is never without her weapon. And that's all she is now, a soldier.
She doesn't look back.
