REMEMBER ME FOR THE TIMES I RUINED YOU NOT FOR THE TIMES I MADE YOU SMILE. Eryn's body led her to the streets of New York. By now it was morning. The air smelled fresh, as water dripped from the sky, crystalizing Eryn's face. And she stood there. In the light warm rain, her arms spread, her head up, and eyes closed. With the rain dribbling on her face, everything was suddenly so confusingly clear. Several people shoved her, trying to get by. They had jobs, lives, children, problems. Better things to do than stay out in the rain like an idiot. But Eryn didn't notice. She opened her eyes and began walking. She trudged across the streets of Manhattan, passing crowds of people in the early morning. Eryn then began looking at them, observing them, carefully. None had bothered to look at her. It became evident to her, suddenly, that it was remarkable. All these people had lives. All these people have been hurt once before, loved once before, experienced all feeling. Eryn suddenly realized the whole world was somehow connected. Suddenly, one woman especially caught her eye. Completly normal looking. But too normal... nobody was ever 'normal.' Eryn didn't know these people's past, but it only mattered that they had one. None of this made any sense, but this was Eryn's mind. There were no rules. And nothing was interpreted clearly.
