Spectrum

OMG I wrote something. Go me!

Title: Spectrum
Fandom: Star Wars
Prompt: for swficchallenge's Bonus Challenge - Miracles. I cheated a bit but... meh. We'll see if anyone yells at me there. Heh.
Rating: G
Word Count: 227
Characters: Unspecified. Oooooo a mystery!
Warnings: None.

Soon I will be one with the Force, and this is not how I’d envisioned my end. I was young, full of vitality and strength, the Force my constant ally. Now I’m old, weak, betrayed, abandoned. Irreparably broken in both body and spirit. There is no reason to fight. Only darkness awaits me in life, but in death... I can’t be certain. The dark seems to surround that as well. Am I interpreting this correctly? There should be light – peace and tranquility of such magnitude that the living cannot possibly fathom it in their corporeal state.

I reach out through the Force. But the Force is neither good nor bad, neither dark nor light, it just is. Why did I believe it would welcome me with light?

Something’s happening. What was dark now appears light. Life beckons me. It’s not my destiny to die this day after all! I’m no longer alone. Someone needs me here. I am comforted by a gentle touch. Someone is ensuring I do not succumb to the vast nothingness. I cling to this chance with newfound vehemence.

I feel pain again; such is the price of living. I can endure it. I have purpose once more -- I’m going to achieve great things. No one can break me now.

Thank you, Master. You’ve engineered a miracle. I will not let you down.

Yay!
when i started reading it i thought of Vader dying in ROTJ but by the end i was thinking of him lying on the lava bank in ROTS.

It was the "old" part, right? Hehehe.
*enjoys confusing people*

You're awesome. I thought this was Obi-Wan in ANH for some weird reason. I had to read it through a couple times before I realized the truth! I love fics like this. :D

Oh goodie, glad I intrigued you!

Oh my. So nicely stated (and how true). This is a lovely little puzzler. Like Liz, I thought at first that it was Obi-Wan in ANH. But apparently unlike the others here, I'm still not sure who it is. It's not Vaderkin, is it?

You must tell me!!!

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Yup, it's Vaderkin! I do like confusing people when I can. lol Damn, I need to write more fic.

[emavalexis.livejournal.com]

Damn, I need to write more fic.

Yes. Yes, you do.

This fic should be a star wars fandom test. Whose death do you think of first? Your choice will determine what fic you read next...

Haha... I read "old, broken and betrayed" and assumed Palpy. Because that's what this fic says about me! Yay for reincarnation! Vaderkin is cute.

Speaking of choices -- I still want to do a "choose your own adventure" type story, but I don't know that I'll ever get around to writing it. I've written two for friends, Back In The Day before interwebz! (I am old!) And they were such fun.

Hehe, so this could be turned into one of those SW quizzes that I used to do so often and now rarely see... I've gotten over the quiz bug, though.
