Prompt 1 - Who are you?
Who am I? Not many people ask survivors that, They usually ask if they are bitten and if the answer is no they ask what can they do to earn their keep.
Who am I?
That’s…that is a really hard question to answer.
The important people call me Cariad, sometimes Cari, but that’s just my name.
The unimportant people? Well they call me witch, but I’m not a witch, I’m just a Wicca that lives too close to a catholic town for my own good. They call me crazy too, and I am, I have pills but I keep running out, and then things get confusing and people mix together and this world is to dangerous to let that happen but sometimes I have no choice.
One calls me Sister, and two used to call me daughter, but they joined the horde.
The horde don’t call me anything, they don’t call anyone anything they can’t speak, they only eat. They would probably call me dinner if they could.
There is one who calls me love, but he’s English and love is what Cariad means in English, so I don’t know if he’s calling me love, or calling me by my name.
Glen calls me friend, sometimes he calls me bach*, sometimes I call him a tall git. No one calls him son, the Horde took his parents away too.
…If my parents have joined the horde does that make me an orphan? Or do you have to be a child to be an orphan? I was twenty when the Horde awoke and took mom, but I was twenty one when Dad joined her…or was I twenty two?
Sorry, I got distracted, I’ve run out of pills again, I know that I shouldn’t let that happen, but it’s not like I can pop down the chemists anymore, there’s monsters out there…
Anyway, what was the question again?
*Note from the Mun: 'Bach' is a welsh word, it means ‘small’ but it can also be a term of endearment, it’s also one of the very few welsh words that I know, *hangs head in shame.* It sounds like Bar-ch. X-posted to singed_feet Comments welcome.
