My Weakness by Lady Disdain 
<The_Lady_Disdain@mailcity.com>

 Choices. We all make them. At the time it might just 
seem like a nothing. But one decision could make all 
the difference...

 One man's choice to take my sister instead of me 
has had an enormous impact on my life that I don't 
think any of them predicted. They made Samantha my 
weakness.

She is what drove me to finish highschool early and go 
to Oxford to get a degree in psychology. I wanted to 
understand what drives people to take young girls in 
the middle of the night.

 Merely understanding kidnappers and other dark 
monsters was not enough for my weakness. I had to 
also stop them. I joined the FBI and became a VC 
profiler. I was good at what I did. I had over a 90%
closure rate. I was winning against the monsters. That
still was not enough to satisfy my weaness.

 My memories of my sister drove me to regression 
therapy. It wasn't enough that I understood the kind of 
person who would take such a sweet girl and stopped 
others like them. I needed to see how they took her 
away from me. The vision which the therapy produced 
drove me to the basement.

 Over the years I've readily excepted anything that I 
thought could conquer my weakness. Aliens. Serial 
killers. Smoking men. Anything that could answer the 
questions which torment my sleep. After all this time I 
now know the Truth. 

 My sister lived to the ripe age of fourteen. She 
managed to escape from the demons containing her. But 
she couldn't run far enough on her own. She needed 
help. Her brother was an ocean away. The men were 
closing in on her; they were going to kill her this 
time. So she made her final disappearance. Into the 
stars.

 Choices. We all make them. My weakness has driven my 
choices for over thirty years. Have I really made all 
the right choices over the years solely because they 
have brought me to this moment? 

 As I sit on this couch sipping herbal tea and stare
into your crystal blue eyes I realize that I have
madeall the right choices. My weakness has led me to
my strength.

Author's Notes: This vignette was brought to you by 
repeated listenings to my favorite birthday present, 
the cd Play by Moby. The final track was used for 
Sein Und Zeit and Closure it is called (surprise!) My
Weakness. The track directly before My  Weakness, The
Sky Is Broken,was used in all things. I suggest that 
you check out this cd, it's wonderful.
