Time Stops For No One (1/1)
By Marlen
Completed June 15, 2000
Time stops for no one.
There are no exceptions to the rule.
Not even for a man whose relentless
determination to find the truth exceeded
everyone's expectations.
Unappreciated and ridiculed, he was expected
to fail right from the beginning.
Even I didn't think I would be there long.
Little did they know.
Little did I know.
A moment from long ago comes back to me.
'Do you believe in the existence of extra-
terrestrials?'
*Your kidding right? Ok, I'll go with it.*
'Logically, I would have to say no. Given the
distances need to travel the far reaches of
space, the energy requirements would exceed a
spacecraft capabilities.'
Oh, Mulder, I was so wrong. And I would
shout those words at the top of my lungs to
anyone who would listen if it would bring you
back to me.
But it wouldn't.
Time continues to shove forward, like a
tornado, ignorant of the pain and destruction
left behind.
I see it slipping away, going faster and
faster with a fluidity of a dream.
But it's not a dream.
He was taken away from me.
Away from us.
My thoughts are consumed by the fear that
despite all my efforts, he will never be
found.
That he will never know about the incredible
miracle we created.
Together.
Days turn into weeks and weeks into months
since that fateful night in the forest when
he walked right into their awaiting hands and
out of my life.
Mulder finally found the truth he was seeking
and it engulfed him.
Becoming a martyr for *their* cause.
Time stops for no one.
Or will it?
