After about a minute, Dolly started writing. When she finished, she looked up expectantly.
-
Dolly nodded once, the name sending her another wave of hope. Ben the guard. Callie the scientist. People with names, lives, stories. One name at a time, she’d remind them. “Thank you, Callie,” She said, meeting the scientist’s eyes. She picked up the poem and started reading.
-
Dolly gritted her teeth. “This isn’t your fault,” she said softly, “so I’ll do it if you tell me your name.”
-
Dolly blinked and looked at the scientist. “Not in this world. But I intend to change that.”
-
“Will she be free?”
-
“What, and you’ll see who has better grammar? Who understands poetry better? If I’m not a writer and she’s never done this before, do we both fail? Find tests that involve doing things, tests of creativity. Your stupid system—like all the rest—is broken.”

the end has arrived

“I’m trying,” Dolly growled. “Despite all of this, I am trying, because she,” she pointed through the glass at Sari, “deserves a chance at life. But I’m not going to write an essay. That won’t tell you anything.”
-
“I didn’t have a say!”
-
Dolly spluttered for a moment over that one. “Common decency? Ethics? I always thought Dad was being dramatic, but if this is what you’ve all been taught…people get to make their own choices. No one has the right to take that away from anyone else.”
-
“That isn’t true,” Dolly said through gritted teeth. “And even if it was, no one can give my consent for me.”
-
“You’re still lying. All of this, and you’re still lying to me.”
-
“But you can’t make me write. If you want to do this, you have to have my consent.”
-
“Not like this.”
-
Dolly glowered. “No.”
-
“Come on!” Jerry brandished his mop. “Whatever I did wasn’t my fault.”
-
Dolly gritted her teeth. The girl didn’t get it. She might have Dolly’s memories, but that didn’t mean she understood them. She just needed time, practice, understanding. She needed to live, and to do so in a place that was not here.
-
“Some help you are,” Dolly mumbled, fiddling with her earrings before crossing her arms.
-
Turns out it wasn’t Alendi, Vin, Sazed, or you…it is I!! The hero of ages!
-
“He’s growing up,” Dolly said, shaking her head. “Things change. That doesn’t mean he—he wouldn’t do something like that. Family doesn’t betray family.”
-
“He talks to plenty of people. Why are you so suspicious of him? He’s our—my—he’s family.”
-
“Agaweeehhh!”
-
6 RP’s are hot at this exact moment, at the same time…
Well done, new gen. Fadran and Cal would be proud.
-
Jerry roamed the halls, grumpily mopping piles of blood.
-
“He didn’t,” Dolly snapped. Snapped. When had she last…this was getting to her. This whole mess was going to tear her apart. “They’re lying.”
