Tell My Sister I Love Her



When the helicopter arrived, I knew exactly who Miles, Charlotte, Naomi, and most importantly Daniel Faraday were. I knew why the came and I knew what they wanted. Because only a fool would have been blinded by Miles' charm, Charlotte's beauty, Naomi's accent and Faraday's muse.

But I was starving. My cravings caused my mind to race wildly, and I couldn't live on bread alone. I thought about Ben and The Others, I thought about Vincent, the freighter, the Hatch and my hungry heart as I listened to Miles translate Faraday's coded message. Funny how they think I don't understand... don't think I know your little secret?

I listened as I danced around the beach in my underwear. I had no inhibitions and I was very amused by both Miles and Faraday. I felt the sun hitting down on me and despite the insatiable heat I danced through the night because the look on my face said nothing and meant less.

A Quick Fix Behind the Curtain


In a deep moment of despair, I hiked through the jungle looking for Jacob. I treked with my pregnant mind, but I thought of nothing but the cabin. Hugo described its location, and I knew if I searched long enough I would find it when the time was right. Hot, sticky and sweaty I rejoiced when I saw a small waterfall by soaking my hair in the stream. Water trickled down my spine, it was getting dark, how quick the sun can drop away.

Still Alive, I pushed through the trees and into a spider web. I could feel the web on my face and imagined the spider crawling through my damp tangled hair. I reached up and allowed him to crawl into my hand before placing him on the ground. Tricky tricky spider. I looked up, I had arrived at the cabin. But I couldn't see, so I just stared.

The night turned my love black, the sky was empty. Thoughts spinning round my head, my bitter hand opened the door. "Jacob", I called out. Jacob did not turn around to face me, but sat starring into everything. "I want to make a deal". And so, we made a deal.

When I left the cabin there were stars in the sky, but everything was still Black. I ran through the jungle and arrived back at the beach within moments. I thought about Jacob and our agreement. There was no turning back, I could never betray Jacob. I had to own up to my part of the deal if I wanted him to trust me.

Room 23


"Hurley, you've got to take your meds". I looked over at his roommate who had been muttering the same words for hours. "Please don't go, don't leave. Please Faraday, please don't do this." Hurley must have told him about Faraday.

"What's with him?" I asked. Hurley ignored me. "How's Rousseau?" He asked. "Rousseau is dead Hurley. You know that." His roommate continued, "Faraday, please don't leave me." Hurley started to get agitated, "I never told him about Faraday you know".

I followed Hurley into the hallway. "Well then how the hell does he know about him?" I asked. "Because he's going back and he'll meet him soon." "Hurley, you have to stop this, you have to take your meds."

We sat silently. There was a woman in the corner, rocking back and forth in her chair mumbling. Across the room a man sat yelling about an infected pituitary gland. Eventually, Hurley broke our silence. "I'm not crazy, and I'm not sick." "Hurley, you're in a psychward."

Hurley's roommate continued to yell for Faraday. Turthfully, I hadn't thought about him in months. In fact, I did everything I could to forget about him and bury him deep in my chest. Yet everytime I heard Hurley's roommate scream his name, I too wanted to call out for him. My wound started to bleed.

Faraday was a brilliant physicist. He was sweet, and loving. Until he started lying. This was around the time he feel in love with Charlotte. I closed my eyes and pictured Faraday. "I gotta go Hurley."

I stood up and walked to the door. I wondered if I'd ever see Faraday again. His eyes were so honest, I missed them. I tapped on the glass for the nurse to unlock the door. Hurley called my name. I answered, but I didn't turn around. "Yeah Hurley?" "Don't worrry about Faraday," he said. "Oh yeah? Why is that Hurley?" "Because, only fools are enslaved by time and space." My eyes filled with tears. "OK Hurley."
