Ever been convinced that in his spare time, Admiral Adama tends orchids? That when Starbuck wasn't painting the nebula on her apartment wall, she spent her time fly fishing? That Lee has a secret history as a break dancer?

Leoben - no warnings

[trovia]

The bookstore was bathed in warm beams of sunlight, peaceful and quiet, as if the owner could be back any minute. Dust had barely started settling on the shelves; the Attacks hadn't touched this place, and no Centurion had marred it later.

Taking “Quiet Your Mind, Change Your Life” off the shelf and placing it on top of “Daily Reflections on the Path of Yoga,” Leoben carefully lifted the stash of books and turned to leave.

He smiled serenely. If “Six Essential Practices to Cultivate Enlightenment (With Earbuds)” wouldn't help him find the Way, nothing ever would.

What I love about this is that it is so determinedly, even disturbingly serene. I just picture Leoben reading excerpts of these books to himself on New Caprica, before he goes off to do more nasty things to humans. He probably repeats lines from these books like little mantras.

Great choice for Leoben!

Heh. Most things that Leoben says sound like he read them somewhere, no?

Thanks!

Somehow this just makes my skin crawl. Leave it Leoben to make yoga/meditation self-help books super creepy.

When I wrote this, I found it so creepy to think he'd have gotten all the stuff he did to Kara out of books.

Thanks!

I love this one. That is creepily great! Making it work so well with just five sentences... you are my drabble-hero-of-the-day ;)
