Summary: My words are not working.
Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] 20_fics. 19/2/13.

My words are not working. They’re not mine. Not anymore. Paper thin and damp. Easily torn and dissolved into nothing. I don’t know where they’re from, whose they are. Doesn’t matter. Not relevant. need them gone, quiet, shut them up!

Heavy on my minds. Can’t think. Too many voices. They’re not mine!

Make it right. Cut them out. They are where they don’t belong. Time for the voices to go home. Time for the words to return to where they came from. Time for them to return to their owners, and to stay there.

Away. Leave my words in peace.

You got River's voice down pretty damn well. I could hear it in her voice.
