Title: Weakness
Fandom: Firefly
Characters: River
Prompt: #009. Education
Word Count: 100
Notes: Written for ficlets100.

Knowledge was her weakness.

It was why she’d been chosen to be the subject for the Alliance’s various tests. It was why she was valuable to them. It was why she hated to sleep.

She had received the highest level of education and had learned a few very important things from it that made her wish she were stupid – or less intelligent, anyhow. Among the fascinating discoveries, she had learnt that knowledge was, in fact, power. Power corrupted. And ignorance was bliss.

If she had the power to do so she would go back and change herself.
