Series: DS9 Codes: G (and character death, so be warned) Feedback: caitn @ mindspring . com Written for Stephen's Call of Duty Challenge on asceml. Death is the one constant in life. Disclaimer: Paramount owns the characters, I just take them out now and then. "A Thousand Doors" Copyright August 2004 ----------------------- "Death hath had a thousand doors to let out life..." - Philip Massinger Garak hated funerals. He knew well how fleeting life was, and didn't need any reminders. He consoled himself with the thought that the death had been a peaceful one. Klingons thought that dying in your sleep was a disgrace. To Garak, it sounded pretty damn good. Garak took the vase from Colonel Kira. Ironic that the remains of a man who was larger than life could fit inside such a tiny vessel. He did his duty: sprinkled the ashes inside the airlock, stepped back, closed the door. And watched as the remains of Dr. Julien Bashir drifted out into space. NewMessage:
