108 words. Darn it, I broke my streak. But I couldn't shorten, so... oh, well! Hope you like it.

Title: Trodden
Prompt: "memory"

Memories make the person.

Every event that's ever happened molds you into who you are.

Moments of happiness and joy.

Or moments of pain, grief, and anger.

Reliving your memories shows you were you've been and how far you've come.

You're what your memories make you.

My memories have made me into... something.

Each of the "damned distasteful things" I've done have darkened my soul.

Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives have lost someone because of me.

O'Neill the Killer.

Regret, over so many things, hangs on my consciousness.

Yet these people, my team, make me into something else -- bringing me what I never thought was possible... Salvation.

But in case you are bored or something, maybe you'll get inspiration for a new background picture for my lj and would like to make one.

Well, I was bored. *g* Try THIS on for size. I was just playing around, so if you want something done differently, text added, or even something completely different altogether, just let me know. :)

I sized it to your existing background, so you shouldn't have to change any settings, just change the pic.

It looks cool. I'm gonna upload it to my server and try it tomorrow. Or you know, today. But after I slept a bit. I don't wanna mess up the coding stuff on my page. I'll never get that sorted out again.

*hugs*

Thank you.
