- Author's Note:
- Alright. Thank you so much to those who reviewed my story, TiPster and starfly (I love ur name!) anyways, hope you like this too, and please review!! Enjoy...
Everything was really white and beautiful and I heard a voice. "Remember?" it asked me.
So I'm trying. Trying to remember. Sometimes I think I can't. Sometimes I think I've forgotten everything. But I haven't. I still remember his voice, his eyes.
Ron says that writing things down will help me.
Okay. I remember... The news. I remember when they told us about the Virus. I remember how silently it came, like... like the angel of death. With black wings. And then it was quiet.
I remember fire. From the ground. Explosions, everywhere. And I remember when he left. And I looked up at Ron and said, "Where's he going?" But Ron looked down, like he always does when he doesn't want to say.
But now, I remember running. Running for days on end. I don't want to remember running, I don't want to remember hiding. I don't want to remember how it felt when I knew he wasn't coming back.
But I remembered that morning, the sky a bloody red, when he looked at me. I remember how his hands felt on my shoulders. I remember when he said, "Don't forget, Ginny, promise you won't forget."
I don't want to remember, but I don't want to forget.
For him.

(Looks at information on the screen) Yeah,
that looks about right.
Okay, a little about my past now. Um, I really
have any parents. Tetris is my parent. He told me he had found me a long time
ago, and my parents must've died. It doesn't bother me much, I mean, I never
knew them.
How do I feel about being a Shade? Well, I
don't especially like to hurt others but when the going gets tough, the tough
get going.
How do I feel about a future mankind? (Pauses.
Thinks for a while.) Well, I don't think there'll be a future, the way things
are going now. So forget about a mankind. I do this to survive. I do this
because I get free room, board and education.
But another future? Maybe. Not for me, of course,
but maybe for Tetris, or another Shade. I think they'd like to wake up to
another kind of morning.
A better morning.
