Dark Room 5: Author's Notes

This is more than just Digital Dreams - it's two songs. The other is Little 15 by Depeche Mode.

The Song: http://bit.ly/Zw3P0 The Lyrics: http://bit.ly/iKKw7

I've had this for years - but it never gelled. The scenes were there - the dad's devotion to restoring his daughter, and her need to take the only escape she could. But a full narrative didn't hit me until today. I saw the third character - what he was doing, and how her attempt at vengeance would misfire.

(Oh - the music after 'When you've seen what she's seen' - that's when she hacks in. Run your Tron login sequence.)

I know Digital Dreams doesn't hit these notes - it just harmonized with the song already in my head. Thank you indeed, Eloquent Mess, for putting the match to the gunpowder.

I know the story leaves out details- thus is the nature of ficly. If you have questions on any part, drop it here and I'll tell you what I was thinking. Sometimes what _you_ are thinking makes for a better story, though - so don't just take my word for it. :D
