WK 'Rewind' drabble: "At the Dinner Table" - R (Schuldig)

Drabble written for the [livejournal.com profile] wk_100 "Rewind to the Past" challenge. Rated R for R for disturbing content. //telepathic communication//

At the Dinner Table


He's watching through his fringe; a thin red veil between himself and the hostile silence of the dinner table. Silent but for those voices that never stop, never end:

//hould've married Erich, but I had to… think with your dick, this is what you get… too young to waste my life on a deadbea… whiny nagofawife … nutcaseofason… lousyarschloch… stupidsch//.

He just wants them to shut up. Shut up! SHUT UP!

"Sei still!"

It's his voice screaming. Then the world goes blank.

When he opens his eyes again the room is silent once more, and a different shade of red.


----
sei still = shut up

Oh man. Ack. Really good and so, so disturbing. And the best explanation I've read of why he chose that name for himself.

Hee, glad you like. *g* I just made it last night. The combination of two of my favorite shows was too much to resist.

Thank you! I imagine being a beginning telepath would be pretty traumatic to begin with, but once you add family problems to that...

Seconding the icon love! though I'm must admit to being unsure where the quote comes from, though it sounds vaguely familiar...

It's from Firefly, and it's one of the most quoted lines--especially on icons. *g* So even if you didn't watch the series, you've probably seen it somewhere around LJ.

Ah! Yep, that's it. Ta.

Aie. Very scary. Also, I can totally see this happening, which makes it even creeepier.
