This is brilliant, the full circle of using the words broken at the beginning and end, the word power (and anger. great choices of words, which is so important when only using 100.) I love love love when you're writing things. :)

Aww, Ally, this is really something. Well done! It makes me feel for Susan, and she's not always my favorite character in this series.

She is such a hard character to like in TLB, which is generally a sad book even if the end is joyful. But as I get older I grow to understand her more and more and I yearn to write her redemptive story, but as I said, I find it hard to convey with words. This was one case where less was more.
