It's ghosts
Wednesday, March 1, 2006 12:31 AM
I just read the "Dead or Alive" script. Maybe I shouldn't have. :( Look what River sings, at the fair:
"And the beautiful princess every
night prayed for her handsome
prince...
... to fight through the terrible ivy
of thorns and climb up to her room
and slay all the wicked, evil
demons...
And then the beautiful princess got
tired of waiting for her handsome
prince and tried to escape, but they
found her and to punish her they
locked her in a smelly, white, cold
room where the evil blue demons
strapped electrodes to her face and
started to shock her. Zap, zap, zap,
until she couldn't stop screaming.
Only no one could hear."
I know, I'm supposed to say something really inspirational now, make it all better. I could say how River stretches out her arms to a little lost girl; and how she finally holds and hugs that child; and how beautiful that is. But I'm not going to. :( What they did to River was sooooo wrong. :( *tears* So alone! So isolated!
You all know how much I Love my precious River! And if there's any hope to be found in the story, I'm usually the first to point it out. But tonight I feel the best way for me to Love River, is to respect her suffering in full; undiluted, and unmitigated: the raw footage. :( River as River is.
I'm so near my River, right now. *cry* Standing right next to her, in fact, in Dr. Mathias lab. And I'm trying to contain my tears; unsuccessfully. :( But what matter, she cannot see me, anyway. I'm like a ghost. And I gently rest my hand on her shoulder, but she knows it not. And I have no response to her screaming anyway, except to whisper the most comforting thing I can think of now:
"Little one, I hear you! I hear you."
