Something along the lines of E.T.O.L.T...
This exact writing won't actually be in the book, but I wrote it and wanted comments. This is from a little girl's perspective as she is probed by an enemy. Her memories are stolen, and false ones put in their place. Please comment on the purple forum, I can't see the comments here. Maybe we should all open our own little "Comment here on my stuff" thread there...?
Okay, here:
My Memories Fade
My memories fade. I do not know what is happening, but I cannot stop it. The eyes—the feeling invades me. I am helpless. It will not leave. My mother and father disappear. My brother’s death, the grief of it still fresh, evaporates. God, loyalties, playmates, king; all leave my sight. I struggle to hold onto the images of my home, of my happiness, but they, too, abandon me. I am unclothed and alone in a suddenly dark and cruel word.
Then new images come. They show people with snake badges. They say they are the Waenx. They are kind to me. They love me. I see my mother, placing a sword in my hand and instructing me to use it. She is hard to me, but that will make me strong. I love her. I am trained as a soldier, but my enemy country, Isrian, overthrows mine while I am still young. My mother is captured by them. She will be killed. I am honored by meeting General Cora Derkson, who gives her blessing and sends me to find my mother. I will find her, or I will die. It shall be my pleasure to parish serving my country, my people, instead of giving into the enemies. Weakness cannot be found in me. It will not take me. I am Rican Border, son of Likeya Border, and I will fight.
