fic: "The Sundered" - PG-13 [Teyla, John, Torren]

[tielan]

TITLE: The Sundered
SUMMARY: Driftwood was once a part of a greater whole, with a purpose and a meaning.
RATING: PG
CATEGORY: Angst, post-EATG.
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, making no money, etc.
NOTES: For the sga_saturday prompt for week 14 - driftwood. Thanks to the people who threw the ideas out for me to try, and thanks to ileliberte whose musings sparked the ideas behind the story. Very short and angsty.

Teyla stands in a city full of people who hurry past without knowing anything of her origins or her skills.

Um, hi again.

I just left a comment on your post of the story "Momma Always Said There'd Be Days Like These", I hope it's OK, if I post another one.

I just want to say that I liked this story, too.
It's bitter and sad and yet beautiful.

I could see in my mind Teyla standing in a crowded city, lost and alone (even with John and Torren there).

Two images stand out to me especially: the thought that there are more people on Earth than in the entire Pegasus galaxy. And the insight that "one cannot argue with a people too fearful to hope".
The first is just dizzying to think about and the second is oh so true and sad.

Thanks for writing!

Greetings, Py.
