Title: 50 MPH
Author: Redrikki
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 075 Speed
Character: Faith


Faith still has these nightmares. It’s probably that post-traumatic stress shit, but hey, she’s entitled. In her dreams, she looms over Robin like Keanu Reeves over Sandra Bullock urging him faster, faster. Stay above 50 or the bomb goes off and we all fall into hell. The open road stretches out, safe and inviting, but the hellmouth opens wider to gulp them down. She always wakes up with her heart pounding and feels like a totally pussy. It’s over, right? They made it out. She can just cuddle with her boy-toy and go back to sleep. Sometimes she even does.

I like that -- and I'll bet she's not the only one who has nightmares about that day, although she'd be the last one to admit it.

Yeah, nothing says post-traumatic nightmares like an apocalypse. Thanks for commenting.
