clears away the cobwebs (Claire, PG-13)
Title: clears away the cobwebs
Fandom: LOST
Characters: Claire (past Claire/Esau)
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 108
Summary: They tell her the sun's coming, but she can't see it. (prompt - tomorrow, written for lost_in_108 )
Claire rents a motel room because civilized people don't sleep outside in bus stops. She tracks mud on the carpet, and it tickles her neck when she sinks into the floor. Street lights mock her through the window, days too dark and nights too bright.
(Aaron called her Mommy for the first time today.)
Civilized people don't look for monsters under the bed and hope they'll find something. Her fingers search for the hands not strangling her waist. He would laugh, at her short hair, at the fake mango scent of her shampoo.
Claire falls asleep to the sound of rain on glass (of tears on clean skin).
