Lost Ficlet: We All Fall Down

[alianora]

Title: We All Fall Down
Fandom: Lost
Spoilers: Deus Ex Machina
Summery: Can you smell it?



Sawyer didnt tell the Doc that the glasses only helped for the first two days (sharp inhaled breath as he fell against the tree and held on while he went blind).

After that, he could smell the burning (like the bodies from the crash. He would never eat bacon again if he could). And it got stronger with every throb of the migraine that left him shaking and sweating in the shade.

Doc had said that (the smell, the fire) could be the sign of a tumor, but Sawyer knew better.

Sawyer watched the kid (Walt, the dad called him) play with the dog (unnatural, shouldn't have survived the crash), and spat out the ashes from his mouth.

Sawyer knew where the fire would come from (innocent eyes burned the raft and smiled). And he knew what he would do (hands striking out against the water as he held the boy under).

Sawyer inhaled the scent of burning flesh, and smiled.

i KNOW! i was so excited to find that pic of Petey! its like it was waiting for me to find it, just so i could say, "its HIM!"

and i made a Boone icon...and it has Petey in the background..but im not happy with it yet.

[literarylemming.livejournal.com]

*Petey is admiring of his latest icon incarnation*

*he even refrains from eating it!*

*he decides to snack on some hubcaps instead*

I MUST SEE this Boone/Petey icon; because that is just too cool. Show me!

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

Err..its at home on Madmartigan, and im currently at work. Ill play with it more when i get home (ON MY PREEEETY NEW LAPTOP), and yes! Petey is in the background! thats initially how i found that particularly pic..i was looking for something i could insinuate into the background with only people in the know picking up on it..*cough*
