WORD COUNT: 100
PROMPT: #36 (smell) for

RATING: G
SUMMARY: She doesn’t get many moments like this.
DISCLAIMER: Firefly's not mine. Sorry for infringing on Joss Whedon's copyright! Yeah, okay, not really.
NOTES: This is set during "Out of Gas," during Simon's birthday dinner at the beginning of the episode.
It's a bit morbid and creepifying, just like River herself.

She doesn’t get many moments like this. Lovely, laughing, and warm. The air was filled with sweet, singing comfort and the soft glow of love, shining like candles on the birthday protein. Everyone is relaxed and happy. River breathes in the scent of pure joy.
It’s a moment to be cherished, and she savors it, like the taste of the chocolatey frosting she won’t get to eat.
Because it’s there now too. It’s always there, all the time, lurking around the edges – stronger some times than others, and right now it’s so strong it’s choking her.
The smell of death.
