Good and Evil drabbles-Minor characters we never met

Good and Evil drabbles by myfeetshowit
Characters: Two minor characters we never met on the show.
Summary: A couple of years ago, I became obsessed with the idea of showing the shape of Spike through his influence on other people. Several other people on the BA_Gutter Yahoo group joined in, and we came up with about 100 unique drabbles, if I say so myself. These were two of the first that I wrote. Two people--one influenced by evil Spike, one by good.
Rating: PG

Coalbin
Summary: Pre-Series-late 1800s. Evil Spike.

I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy...


Vigilante
Summary: Post Soul-Purpose. What happens to people that Spike (or Angel for that manner) save from the monsters?

I lie all the time now, which is funny because all the adults think I’m finally telling the truth.

They tell me they’re only concerned about me, that I have to give up my fantasies and face the truth. I know their real concern is preserving their own fantasies, making me believe in the lies.

They don’t want to hear that yellow-eyed monsters killed Lisa; that bloodied fangs carved the scars on my neck.

They don’t want to know why I date boys jazzed with punk attitude, with rough, scarred knuckles and piercing, blue eyes, who make me feel safe.

Very interesting. The first one with the repetition is just oh so creepy and the second one is something who truly believes would do. I love that the girl turns to those who look like Spike to keep her safe although she can probably now take good care of herself.

I always wondered what happened to people after Spike or Angel swaggered off. It seems like their life would have to have changed entirely.

Hee, the first one is very simple, but very effective!

I don't get the girl in the second one, why does she need an excuse? :)

I always thought the girl in the coalbin was horrendous. She came to mind almost immediately when I started thinking about people whose lives Spike changed.

The girl is the second is young enough, that her parents keep taking her to doctors until she gets over her 'hallucination' about what happened to her and Lisa. She lies just to be left alone.

I might her excuse for dating the punks. I never needed one. :D

Well, a punk is probably as close as you could get to Spike. Maybe a goth, but I dunno.

Very nice contrast. The last line of "Vigilante" is just cool.

Thank you. I had a lot of fun with the Shape of Spike concept.

Excellent, very telling in so few words.

Thank you. I did ask for quite a bit from the readers with these, but then that's half the fun.

Oh my. At first glance, I was wondering what that first one was, then WHOA. Chilling perfection.

Thank you for the kind words.

If a reader neglects to read the title they probably don't get the first one. Just shows how much difference one word can make!
