Please. Let me in. Don't close the door. I'm scared that I'm too weak to open it myself again. I don't think I'll be able to this time. I'm too weak. I was stronger last time, I could open it myself. But this time, I think I'll need help. Last time wore me down, and I'm not as strong as before. But we got so far, didn't we? We were so close, but I slipped. Or you slipped. Or we both did, it doesn't matter who. It brought us both down. We can get back up. I think we can. But, you have to help me. I can't do it myself. All it takes is one hand. One hand to get started. To get back to where _we_ started. Just... open the door. Let me in, don't leave me standing here, fallen. Because, you're just as fallen as I am. You're just better at hiding it. But the hidden is always eventually found. I can save you from the ones looking, but only if you let me in. How? Just open the door. 2008-05-12T23:22:08Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/30246 <p>I really love this&#8230; Especially the second to last paragraph&#8230; or three sentences&#8230; no wait, that qualifies as a paragraph, right? Anyway, great job!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30246?basename=61919 2008-05-12T23:22:08Z More Ways Than One http://ficlets.com/authors/cicforever25
