Summary: What was Scully thinking when she was set adrift? ------------------------------------ ADRIFT Written by: Erin M. Blair ------------------------------------ I'm adrift. I don't know where I am. I have this vision of a white place, with differing shapes looking and poking at me. But it doesn't fit with my current situation. I can see myself drifting away like a balloon without someone to hold onto. It's like having no gravity, nothing to hold onto. All I can see before me is a huge, misty lake and Melissa and Mulder standing on the dock. With each separate time they stand there on the dock, I can hear them losing faith in me. Melissa wants to believe I'll be all right, but Mulder knows the truth. He can't accept my death; even if I do die, I know he'll never lose me. Somehow, his love for me will stop me from drifting. End of Vignette Feedback: Much appreciated.

Knowing this, I decided to write about "One Breath" about Scully's abduction. Years later, I dusted this fic off and decided to work on it again. I'm glad that I did. :) This was truly a beautiful ride for me. I would like to thank Jen, as always, for beta reading this story.
