Summary
God save us everyone -
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand, the sins of our tongue
The sins of our father, the sins of our young?All her life, she was told that she was born in a hole, she would die in a hole; her only inevitable fate to be engulfed by the ‘sweet sleep of incineration.'
And in a way, she had, though maybe not in the way the doctrines of Vault 101 dictated. Driven out of sanctuary into the mouth of hell, all that she once was ended up being burned away as she ran from place to place in a desperate bid for safety; a terrified rabbit flushed out from one burrow to another. Until her own father barely recognized her. Until she as good as died out in the Capital Wasteland the same day he did. Until it felt like there was nothing real left of her, only legends and nightmares.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and all that other crap they used to teach back in the Vault chapel. The Bible was a big hit down there, given it was one of the few things they had to read.
...then again, the Bible also had one of the best comeback stories in it too, now didn’t it?
