023 drabble: Portal through time

Title: University of Pylea Physics Dept.
Author: Beer Good ([livejournal.com profile] beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 023: Portal Through Time
Characters/Pairing (if any): Fred


158 days (159?) since hot showers, computers, public transport, refrigerators and a lot of things she's forgetting.

She's spent years learning stuff, when did it get so hard? She's supposed to be one of those thinkers who advance mankind's knowledge. She can explain Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Einstein's theory of relativity, quantum mechanics... the other slaves hate her since they keep having to show her how to build a fire, skin a goat, even what leaves to wipe her ass with.

Fred counts the days on fingers whose nails are worn down to the flesh. 159, 160. One more memory gone.

Poor Fred. She knows so much, and nothing about how to survive. I love the last line.
