Comments on 'First Memory'I saw people all around me. Shouting. Yelling. But I couldn't understand what they were saying. All I knew what I couldn't breath! All I felt was the fire in my lungs as they tried to get oxygen, and the burning of the rope around my neck.

"Worse?!" I said, stunned.
"Some where in here I was shot and left to die in a mass grave. Took me three days to die." She shivered at the thought. "You sure about this?"
I nodded. "For you, it's worth it."2008-03-18T17:17:38Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/24983Comment on First Memory<p>Oops, I meant to write “stories <em>decide</em> for themselves.”</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/24983?basename=496102008-03-18T17:17:38ZAna Cristinahttp://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78Comment on First Memory<p>I think stories decided for themselves when they’re over.
