Aather memory 24

Memory: Baby Breeze
Regained: Day 298 / Snow Queen & Gerda game
Form: A perfect, oversized snowflake -- no two are alike, and each is about the size of your palm. Kiss it to receive your memory. You'll feel chilled and numb afterwards, but it'll wear off after a few minutes; same applies to anyone you share it with. Unlimited uses.



What happened:
Brianna wasn't wired the way most people were. She'd known that about herself—and about other people—for some time. Since even before the FAYZ, but much more now since she had become the Breeze.

She remembered once when she was young. How old was she then? Maybe three? Her and some older kids, that boy and his stupid sister who used to live three houses down. And they said, "We're going to sneak into the old restaurant that burned up."

It was a big old Italian restaurant. It looked half-normal from the outside except there was yellow police tape across the charred front door. The two kids, she had no idea what their names were, tried to get little Brianna to be spooked. "Oh, look, that's where some guy burned up. His ghost is probably haunting this place. Boo!"

She hadn't been scared. Actually she'd been disappointed when she realized there was no ghost.

Then came the rats. There must have been two dozen of them, at least. They came scurrying out like they were being chased, rushing from behind the burned-out kitchen into the smoke-stinking dining room where the three kids were and the Olafsons—that was their name, Jane and Todd Olafson, no wonder she didn't remember it—those two had screamed and run for it. The girl, Jane, had tripped and cut her knee pretty badly.

But Brianna had not run. She'd stood her ground with her talking Woody doll in one hand. She remembered one of the rats had stopped and cocked its rat face to look at her. Like it couldn't believe she wasn't running. Like it wanted to say, "Hey, kid, I'm a huge rat: why aren't you running?"

And she had wanted to say, "Because you're just a stupid rat."

What it means:
* BLAH BLAH no parental supervision even when she was a toddler, what a surprise.
* Mostly this memory shows that she knows she's wired differently re: fear than most people, especially most kids, but also that she's always been like that. It wasn't something that happened after the FAYZ.
* Also those other kids were jerks. :|
