Title: Let Me Rest in Peace
Word Count: 100
Fandom: Buffy/Riverworld
Challenge: #104 - So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu
Disclaimer: Joss Whedon owns "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and all related characters; SyFy owns "Riverworld" and all related characters; I own nothing.
Note: Can I have a Riverworld tag please?

Buffy tries not to feel the heavy gaze on her as she carefully bandages a wound, tries to ignore the pungent scent of blood, fear, and death in the air. Everybody who could walk has already fled, leaving her alone with the bodies scattered around her.

Getting to her feet, she starts to walk off before stopping by a woman. She hates to admit it, but she can’t save everybody, especially here. Death on Riverworld might not be permanent, but it was just as destructive.

Until next time, rest in peace, she thought, taking one last look before walking away.

Niiiice.

A further shoutout is also due the late Phillip José Farmer, on whose books the Riverworld TV franchise is based.
