DG stared into the fire at the rebel camp, unable to sleep.
Learning that her beloved parents were really "nurture units" had rattled her world, though she accepted their earnest declarations of love. When she saw how easily they had been reprogrammed, another piece of her history disintegrated.
As the façade of her life in Kansas crumbled away, it was revealing a frightening world of terror and betrayal and unsettling responsibility. She glanced at her sleeping comrades and felt strangely uplifted; it was also a world of loyalty and courage and unexpected joy.
It was a reality where she belonged.

Date: 2008-06-07 09:05 pm (UTC)Thank you kindly! I was rewatching the miniseries and a couple of lines struck me: "My life is a lie!" (said by DG) and "Everything you think you know, you don't." (said to DG) And it occurred to me that she must have had to undergo a nearly-complete transformation in her worldview, and that turned into the drabble.
