I'm 15... for a moment
caught in between 10 and 20
and I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are*

Galway, 1753
It’s too dark to see much of the street but the light from the open door illuminates the pair as they are cast into the street. They are both drunk, unsteady on their feet but his first thought, like always, is how to get back in. Steal his fathers silver; strike another blow that the man probably wouldn’t even be bothered to feel.

I'm 22 for a moment
she feels better than ever
and we're on fire
making our way back from mars*

He sees her standing there and cannot help but follow her into the darkness of the alley. Offering to escort her and listening to what she offers with an almost broken desperation. Another world it seems. Far from all he knows and he can’t help but think it sounds like paradise. Then the fire in his neck and down his throat as he sees her true face and realizes that he may never see paradise and doesn’t he think he deserves that? But now even as he fades he realizes that he’s no longer alone.

15… there's still time for you
time to buy and time to lose
15... there's never a wish
better than this
when you've only got a hundred years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
still the man but you see I'm a they
a kid on the way, babe
a family on my mind*

London, 1860
Killing the priest is easily done. It doesn’t matter to him that he was a man of the cloth; no actually it made it kind of fun. He listens to Drusilla’s fears and childlike reliance on her mothers will. He smirks as the plan falls into place. She was going to make a magnificent childe. The parallels between her faith and her future almost make him laugh. She worries now about her god, soon he will take that position and she will hail to him. The lords plan indeed. Higher powers anyway.

I'm 45 for moment
the sea is high
and I'm heading into crisis
chasing the years of my life*

Rumanian Woods, 1898
He’s running. Not sure if it is a ‘too’ or a ‘from’. The suddenly he has no choice it grips him tightening his heart and opening the windows in his eyes. The warmth from the fire seems suddenly far away as it comes streaming back. Faces, places and crimes that he cannot yet comprehend but fears he must. A voice laden with pain casts the first stones towards a wounded soul and the hurting begins. The demons clarity of recollection and creativity of evils make the movie in his head a nightmarish loop of terrors the likes of which he wishes were still beyond his imagination.

15… there's still time for you
time to buy and time to lose yourself
within a morning star*

He is sitting amongst the garbage of the alley, smelling worse than it does to tell the truth. Another furry meal is getting away, like many more before it. His demon raging against what he has become. He thinks again of the sun and wonders if that alternative is not better than what he has now. Whistler looks down on him. Whistler knows what he is, knows the choice before him and wishes that it didn’t always have to be this way, wishes that for once they could fight for the light and still see the shades of grey.

15... I'm all right with you
15... there's never a wish better than this
when you've only got a hundred years to live*

Los Angeles, 1996
The car is enough protection to go out into the sun. He sees a world more brilliant than the one he left behind. Ultimately though this world is more naive; they no longer see the monsters that lurk in their darkness and the work of the chosen is made that much more difficult. He’s blinded by her light but can still see her destiny fall upon her. Realizes that in that moment the girl is dead, and wonders how long it will be before she ends up buried.

Half time goes by
suddenly, you’re wise
Another blink of the eye
67 is gone
the sun is getting high
we're moving on…*

He sees the disbelief and terror on her face as she stares into the face of a demon, terror that he reviled in as the Scourge of Europe. Watches her first kill, the first of many (he hopes) and sees a life less brilliant. Makes his choice and as he takes the first step on the path he feels a little of the humanity that has tortured but eluded him for so long falling back into place.

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
and I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are*

Sunnydale, 1997
He feels the surge of power and the curse snaps the soul back inside. The dislocation is much the same as the first time, thoughts feelings, faces and places jumbled together. Then he opens his eyes and truly sees her. Sees the daisy print hair clip and lollypop, sees her in the cemeteries where she’s her fighting for her life and his more than once, sees the pain in eyes he had come to love. And then he hears her voice telling him to close his eyes and he does; for the world is light again, and that is something he isn’t sure he is ready to see.

15... there's still time for you
22... I feel her too
33... you’re on your way
every day's a new day*

The kiss reaches every part of him. He feels the pain, the love the hurt, the feelings coursing through her and he struggles to piece together how it came to this.

15... there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose*

The sword sinks deep into his chest and he feels the pull. He fights it, wants to stay with her. To understand what, and how and why but it pulls him away anyway.

And then all he knows is pain.

Hey 15… there's never a wish
better than this
when you've only got a hundred years to live*

I'm sorry this isn't very polished it was just in my head this arvo. Not really sure where this came from. Every time I listen to this song I come up with a new meaning. Today, I guess it was Angel’s.
