Title: Those Whom Moses Forgets

Rating: PG
Summary: When Moses led the faithful to the promised land, what happened to those who were forgotten? The ones who stayed to guard the gate so that the fortunate ones could escape? A look at the Sunnydale conflict through the eyes of a member of the Sunnydale PD.

Timeline: S2 through S7
A/N: This was done as a series of drabbles to force me to think more carefully about the words I was using. Hopefully it helped :D.
This is not a shipper fic except mildly for the OC character Carl.
Thanks to penne4m for beta feedback that helped greatly.

Carl laughs when he first hears "PCP gang attack". He’s only been with the Sunnydale Police for a fortnight..."

Thank you for posting this beautiful fic giving us an insider's view of Sunnydale PD. Carl is indeed an unsung hero who 'held the line'.

I appreciate the kind words. I just wish I could capture the success in my other ones which, so far, don't really measure up as much as I'd like. I guess, like everything, practice makes perfect eh?

As with anything - and finding the right sort of beta helps too.

It does indeed. I'm fortunate to have a close friend who's able to give quite scathing (at times) criticism while remaining constructive.

I'm fortunate
Me too. My beta constantly challenges me and gives me pointers to improve my style to achieve the effect I'm after.
