I saw the Teen Wolf Season 4 trailer. And I want to give my opinion, But in 3 pictures, which I express my thoughts in my opinion. In picture 1: We see photos of our heroes. (I still am not over Isaac leaving and Aiden's and Allison's death. And Ethan who is leaving. I think no one ever will.) In picture 2: I think we will have some action, but also some drama! Hope the drama won't overpower the action this season. And last, but not least Picture 3: This picture has a name which I like to call: the "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"moments. I hope my short opinion is good enough. See ya later, ThayliNeves
You can't go home again...
Faye remembers, now that she remembers everything, having read that once. It had been a book assigned for class and she had not found it especially compelling. Give her a steamy romance instead, or a thrilling crime novel, or even one of her grandfather's quaint wild west books (he had been endlessly fascinated by the gunslingers and saloon girls and the quest for undiscovered patches of land, of giving up everything in the pursuit of gold on just a whisper from an untrustworthy source)
Her grandfather had been a very interesting fellow. Faye remembers his eyes, green like her own, and his long silver hair, and his intimidating form. He had been a tall man and well built even into his declining years. For that matter, he hadn't declined much in those years before he met his end while rescuing people trapped in a collapsed apartment building after an earthquake while he was visiting the wild American west that had so captivated him during his life.
That had been one of the last pieces of news Faye had heard before boarding the shuttle for a brief foray into space. Her parents had scheduled the excursion months prior and had decided that her grandfather's spirit would be disappointed in them if they didn't go forward with their plans. He had always pushed for people to live life to the fullest, to have no regrets over adventures untaken.
They had tearfully discussed the necessity of making arrangements upon their return to Earth and had insisted to Faye that they look out on the world with eyes full of wonder and an appreciation for having the opportunity to float amongst the stars. Joyrides to space were still a fledgling business, though transport ships ferrying people and supplies to bases on Mars and other planets had been a thing for years now.
She remembers dreading their return. She didn't want to go home to a place so empty of her grandfather's prominent presence. It would have been odd, to go to a place so familiar and yet so decidedly changed.
And now...
Now there was no one at all left. Nothing at all left of the mansion even.
An emptiness filled her, reaching out of her fragile body to settle into the dust of emptiness that surrounded her. An empty lot, an empty heart, an empty life.
Whoever that asshole author had been... Well, he had been right.
She had spent so long trying to remember who she had been. Where she had come from. To remember if she had relatives out there who would welcome her unexpected return. But it had been a pointless struggle. What good were these memories now? Painful reminders of a bright eyed child with all the excitement of a brilliant future laid out before her... cherished moments with countless people who were all now ghosts or near enough like in Sally's case.
She had the memories now, though they felt like a stranger's life. She was too far removed from that idealistic kid.
So she lay down in the ruins of her life once upon a time and covered herself up with an imaginary blanket of closure (what else good was this closure for anyway) and she let herself stare up into the darkening sky and cry.
