chesspolitik: (And We Go On Pretending)
[personal profile] chesspolitik
Anatoly had thought it had been terrible enough when Lex had left him before but it was absolutely nothing compared to what he was feeling now. At least before, Lex had done it because he had believed it was the best way he could protect him. Now, thanks to the island's inveterate sense of cruelty, Lex did not remember him or the life they had built together and so he had hurried away as soon as he could. As far as Anatoly was concerned in his eyes, he was just another one night stand.

There was the possibility that this amnesia was only temporary and Lex would soon have his memories back but Anatoly did not want to spend his days hoping for something that might never happen. The best thing to do was to go on, as he had done so many times before and feel grateful that he did not have to do this alone. He had adopted children, he had dear friends who he loved and trusted and they would all be willing to help and support him if he asked. It was more than he ever had in Moscow, he had to keep reminding himself. All things considered, he was lucky.

Even so, going about his day was an effort and he found that keeping in constant motion was the best thing he could for his state of mind. This generally meant a lot of walking all around the island. Today, he found himself along the path to Sookie's hut. Hoping that she would be in, he knocked on her door and waited.

The Grandmaster

Who needs a dream?
Who needs ambition?
Who'd be the fool
In my position?
Once I had dreams
Now they're obsessions
Hopes became needs
Lovers possessions
