Title: I Broke it
Author: Aurey09
Character: Dawn
Timeline: The Gift 
Number: 14/100 


I ‘remember’ Willow giving me a magicians kit for my 11th Birthday and that when I tried out one of the tricks I broke Buffy’s watch and couldn’t put it back together. Buffy yelled and mom rescued me from her. That none of that ever happened is the real illusion.

I wonder how I changed things? Did mom have another child that I replaced? Did they take mom’s life for mine? She got sick when I appeared. And now Buffy’s dead because of me.

I want the monks to take the spell back. I want to fix what I broke.



Yay! I finally wrote something, only a drabble but I'm still recovering from the concrit last week. I'm not sure about this drabble but I'm posting it anyway.

And I'm not just massaging your bruised writer's ego when I describe this drabble as a perfect execution of the craft of drabbling.

The fact that you felt emotional when writing it only adds to my admiration of the piece. You didn't let 'sentiment' turn into 'sentimental'.

Thank you. I'm glad I stayed away from sentimentality, it's one of those things that makes me cringe when ever I see a lot of it. There’s something that always seems false to me about it.
