TITLE: And Beats High Mountain Down
FANDOM: Stargate Atlantis
LENGTH/RATING: 100 words, PG, Gen
SHIPS/WARNINGS: None
SUMMARY: sga_flashfic Ways to Die challenge.

There were so many things that could go wrong, that she spent every waking hour not thinking about them.

Some days were easier than others; when she was wrapped up in things that were going wrong and there wasn’t time to spare for things that hadn’t. But other days-- long lazy days where nothing much happened at all...

Those days her thumb traced circles on the worry stone, tucked away in a pocket where no one could see, silent prayers to fend off future horrors.

She wore it away in slivers of faith, and smiled, and chatted, and didn't think.

Nice, and I like that you don't name 'her' and leave it up to us to decide who is might be.

I'm glad you liked it! I was thinking about three different people when I wrote it, and I figured I'd let it go to reader's choice. ^_^
