Lost Fic: These Sins Will Swallow You Whole (Sayid)

[ozmissage]

Title: These Sins Will Swallow You Whole
Character: Sayid
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers/Warnings: For “LA X”.
Summary: He can not be saved.
A/N: Written for lost_in_108 challenge #19 “redemption”.

 

There is no redemption for him, no absolution.

He never expected to die peacefully. He lived his life drenched in blood; he expected nothing less than a violent death.

Still he likes to believe that there is some part of him that was good. In truth he believes that part of him died with them on a street in Los Angeles, in a jungle, in a hotel room---in any case it is long gone.

He says a final prayer to a god who he knows will not (should not) save him and accepts his fate.

Forgive me.

It is not enough, but it’s all he can offer.

Yes, that's so true! A very sharp - and heartbreaking - observation, very IC!
