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.
Author's Note: Did you happen to notice anything about the first letter of each of the first six lines, as well as the last six lines?

Nice drabble, vrey stylishly done with the 'memory' part. It worked really well.
Thank you. I have lots more that I've written... if you ever get board. ;)
WHAT?! Harper's dead?! Huh?!
Calm down!! The fact is, we don't know. It was a cliffhanger episode. Everyone was not having a good day at all, so who knows how it will end up. But I was just stressing that I hope Harper lives through it all.
...okay, should explian that I have seen only season one plus the episode with James Marsters, and that's about it!
Well, I haven't really paid attention to this season ::ashamed:: until I found Harper fic and am now a recovering Harper addict!! :) I'm catching up with reruns, but I SO have to re-watch all the seasons so I can catch up on all the great Harper I've missed. *g*

I am a fanfic slut, point me in the right direction! ;)
The fact is, we don't know. It was a cliffhanger episode.
Ugh, hate those! Esp when they decide afterwards to cancel the show...sucks! I like Harper, hope he's okay. Have to admit that Tir was my fave though, and I heard he left :(

Ugh, hate those! Esp when they decide afterwards to cancel the show...sucks!
I hate them, too. >:( There has been word, though, that there will be another season, so I hope everything will be okay!
I like Harper, hope he's okay.
Me, too!!! ::crosses fingers::
Have to admit that Tir was my fave though, and I heard he left
He's okay. I like him and Harper together. They're too funny. Yes, Tyr left, but I don't know why. (I need to catch up!) I know the actor left because he was on another show, or something like that, but I don't know what Tyr's story is.

Much as with Michael Shanks, then.
