Word Count: 100
Note: Written for a prompt at Open on Sunday: silence

Words were power once. Words had been a wintery wind binding her life to that one perfect moment, preserving her glittering past. The wind had betrayed her, trapping her in a cage as cold as ice but as glittering as the sun, trapping her in the hollow shell of the only thing she'd ever wanted, trapping her where the screams raging in her mind echoed around her as little more than muffled whimpers, a dissonant din, a faint shade of the shrieking storm that only she could hear.

Fire came as a relief, allowing her to sink, finally, into silence.

Oh dear. Guess Graduation marked the end for more than just the first high school. Great use of the prompt. :)

I'm glad to hear, from you and pickamix (http://pickamix.livejournal.com/) that it's clear fire refers to graduation. I was a bit concerned people wouldn't get that.

Well... when the site of most scenes for three seasons blows up - in a plot-friendly way, no less - people tend to notice. ;)

*laughs* It was more that I used just the one word "fire" to evoke the whole school blowing up.
