Time Slips Away (Charmed, prompt #29) Title: Time Slips Away Fandom:Charmed Characters/Pairing: Prue Halliwell Rating: G Word Count: 139 Challenge/Prompt: #29 - ghost
Prue isn't doing so well at the afterlife thing. She's not making progress, not letting go. Refusing to move on. "You just need to give it time, my darling," Grams tells her. "You can't force it," says her mother. "Be patient." They glance at each other, eyes full of shared meaning, then turn back to her, smiling beatifically. Prue tries not to scowl.
Prue never did learn patience, in life. She never saw the point in it. Why wait around? Why delay the inevitable? Get it over with, get it done. There was no time, she thought, then. No time to waste.
Perhaps she knew, was aware on some level, she thinks, now.
Because, now? She has all the time in the world. She has forever. And that, to her bitter surprise, is the one thing she can't bear.
