188 - Two Letters
Write two letters: One to someone you hurt and the other to someone who hurt you.
Major Doctor Cottle,
I hope that this letter finds you in the best of spirits, or at the very least, the spirits that everyone onboard Galactica have come to expect of you.
I'm not really sure how to say this. It happened almost two years ago, but I can't seem to get it out of my mind. Everyday when I wake up and see Hera alive, sleeping peacefully in her crib, so many things run through my mind. The one I regret the most, however, is when I took my anger out on you.
You and I have had our differences in the past and I won't try to apologize for any of that right now. The lies about Hera's death and the year that was taken away from me still sting. I do remember, though, when you told me how you would never hurt a child.
You've gotten over the time I assaulted you by now, I'm sure, and I've had a little more time to think. Anyway, this is the long way of me just saying thank you for caring for Hera now. Maybe I won't ever really understand in my heart all the reasons you lied, but in my head I think maybe I can. And for that, I apologize for the way I behaved.
Respectfully,
Lieutenant Sharon Agathon
Sharon re-reads the letter before sending it, then sits back down to write. Page after page of papers fall to the floor with names of people who hurt her along the way.
Major Lee Adama,
Back when you first saw me and tried to shoot me…
Admiral William Adama,
When you first called me "it"…
Madame President,
I must admit, when you decided to 'toss me out the airlock'…
Kara,
Remember how you tried to kill me back on Caprica? Well…
Karl,
The first time you shot me…
Sam,
That look you gave me when I met up with you on New Caprica…
Boomer,
Stay the hell away from my daughter, bitch. I am not you, I won't ever…
Cally,
Stop treating me like a Goddamn toaster…
In the end, Sharon takes out one clean sheet of paper and writes the only thing she can think of after looking at the unsent letters.
To everyone,
Frak off. My name is Sharon Agathon, and I'm just as human as the rest of you.
That letter doesn't get sent, either, but it does make her feel better – if only for the moment.
