Fault Lines - Four Lives

I have a name I toil at two jobs for my future I hope one day to be a healer I have a name Should I marry him? Will we be happy? What will our children become? I have a name I've finally paid off my debts Now I can spread my wings and fly I have a name This idea of mine. I know it will work It will change the world Unconnected. Separated. Isolated Until now ... and finally in the news There was a minor quake today Damage to property was minimal Disruption to services was temporary There were four casualties (Entry to "fault line" contest)

Well all right now, Mark, that is really good, powerful and evocative. You read this one, and then I think you go back and read it again.
