Kaylee sat alone in the engine room, in her brightly colored hammock, feeling anything but bright. She played the message again, and thought about all she'd done in her life. Did it matter

Aww, Kaylee, I love how you've captured her and that hard moment of what next.

[jules1278]

Awwwww, thank you! Your comments are lovely. And I really like your icon. :D

HGUUUUUUUUUUUS

I'm so glad you liked it! I just kept thinking about it, and it brought me to The Message, which brought me to Kaylee's hammock and Simon being a boob, as River so eloquently put it. (Right? Boob?)

I think the whole "Did it matter" vibe worked really well with this. It's a really apt emotion to be feeling after all the roller coaster emotions. And the mention of River worked really well, even as an aside, because you can't have Simon without River, but that aside let's River stand on her own as a character, even without being directly present.

I was feeling pretty introspective about what matters, and naturally, I used Kaylee for my outlet in that. :D

*hugs* thanks for reading and commenting, you.

Ohhh! This is so perfect! You've captured the voice of angry, sulky Kaylee so perfectly, and this is a brilliant snapshot into what happens when all her brightness gets darkened. ♥

Aww... introspective Kaylee gets me every time. Gah.

A lovely snapshot!
