Hi!  This is my second post, I guess.  I'd appreciate any thoughts
on how I could improve my writing.  Thanks to everyone about my last post.
God!  How many people out there want me to continue 'Promises'?

	*Who are you?*  The voice whispered, insistent.
	Her eyes opened suddenly, straining to focus on the speaker.
Instead, she saw only a vauge whiteness, like the dewy inside of a cloud.
	*Who are you?*

	"Me?"  She asked, cautious.

	*Who are you?*

	"I... I'm... Syl..."

	*Who are you?* insistent, yet patient.

	"Syl...Sylvie."

	*What are you, Sylvie?*

	"What am I?"

	*What are you, Sylvie?*

	"I don't understand..."

	*What are you, Sylvie?*

	"I'm..."  She paused in thought, "I'm a girl."

	The speaker seemed to sigh.  *Tell me about yourself, Sylvie.*
			*What do you remember?*

	"Remember?"  She struggled through half forgotten memories, most
of them bad, piled inside of her soul.  "I remember my friends... escaping
from a monster...hurting people...hurting them to save... Anri?"

	*What was Anri to you?  Why would you hurt people for her?*

	"She...she was my friend."  Sylvie thought hard, straining to
remember.  "I wanted...freedom."

	*Freedom from what, Sylvie?*

	"I...I don't know."  Tear beaded the tips of her eyes, slowly they
receded down her face, leaving glistening trails.

	*It's alright.* the voice gently told her.  *Knowledge will come
with time.*
		*Now, what do you remember, Sylvie?*

	"After that...I found something...I can't remember what it was."
She began to choke back the sobs.  "These things...chased me...shot
me...Then...then Priss...Priss shot me.  I told her too, she shot me..."

	*It's alright.  She shot you only because she loved you too much
to allow you to become a menace, that which you despised.  She cared
deeply for you, Sylvie.  Now. . .*
		*What do you see?*

	"I see..."  the clouds began to recede, leaving images.
	"I see..."  memories rushed in to fill the void.
	"Daddy?"
