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?

Much as with Michael Shanks, then.
