Fic: Whispers (SG1, PG)

[partly]

Title: Whispers
Fandom: SG1
Characters: Sam Carter
Genre: Gen
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Warnings/Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: Fanfic, for fun, not profit.
Notes: It's SG1. It's exactly 100 words. It's a Sam fic. To really understand it, a knowledge of SG1 (specifically A Hundred Days) is helpful. I'm forcing myself to post it because otherwise I'd edit it to death. Of course, that may mean it would eventually become a decent bit of writing... but I hate everything I've written lately, so I think I'll take my chances and post it now.


She dreaded the halls.

Actions froze in mid-movement. Tongues stilled. People stared. Pity pressed against her as she passed – suffocating sympathy tinged with a touch of wariness. And rebuke. Whispers ate at the edges of her consciousness.

"It's been three months."

"She's obsessed."

"Millions to build the particle accelerator."

"She never leaves the base."

"If Kinsey finds out, he'll shut us down."

"I hear she sleeps in his office."

She could live with those whispers. She could ignore them.

"He's probably dead."

She couldn't live with that whisper. She couldn't ignore that one.

Not when it came from her mind.

Ooooh, I like, a lot :D I don't think anyone has explored Sam's side of things during that period and it is very interesting to see that yes, there would be whispers and those who may not have been sympathetic. Like how would she keep funding for something like that? Excellent points :D

And well, written, of course :D

Thanks for writing.

This is really good.

I like how you explore it. Any chance of us getting a little something more than a drabble out of it? huh huh huh?

:-)

Glad you liked it, even early in the morning.

*grin* I always loved that Carter said immediately that they'd have to build a particle accelerator. And then three months pass and she obviously had. Gotta love her.

I just found my Sam muse. And she has to last me through the Samfic-a-thon I signed up for.

We'll see what happens after that. *grin*

Thanks for reading!
