High Containment by banlu Date written: November 24, 2002 Spoilers: Firewalker, Darkness Falls High Containment Facility, Winthrop, Washington It had been less than a year since the last time they were here. Then it had been luciferene in the lungs and fluid sucking bugs. She'd lain there on the gurney, her body cocooned in the sheets much as that logger they'd found in the bug's nest. This time it was the worry of sand in the lungs and silicon plants erupting from your throat. He hadn't wanted her to come because he felt it was too soon, yet here she was, about to lose another month of her life. How many had she lost because of him? A month that first time here in quarantine, the three sad, lonely ones during her abduction, and now this. That made five months gone, away from her family and friends.

He just hoped she didn't regret it. end Feedback: banlutoo@yahoo.com The conceited part of me wants it, the humble part doesn't, and the insecure part fears it.
