heh i love these. really nicely wriiten, they almost have a surreal sense to it. i love the second to last one. heh.

Wow...the second one was kinda disturbing, and I mean that in a good way...I think. I'd have to say that the next to last was my favorite though, even if I do kinda like Kate, lol.

I like Abby's line to Ziva: You drive like a psychotic on Meth.

aw, you left me sad with that last one. stupid little kid being all cute. :) hehe, oh, evil abby getting kate killed! though i am glad she said not to off gibbs. lol. awesome piece!

Aw, sad, Kate is alive, then she dies, and then she's alive again, and then dies, and then, magically, she's alive again, and then boom, she's dead...wow...got a shocker when I read the last line though, my birthday is on February 13th, not 1973, a fair few years after that...16 I think...anywho, great story, very sad though, with all the Kate dyingness, good job!

Though I liked Kate still I think this piece of yours is excellent! Reading it just got something come into my mind:

"What is life? A madness.

What is life? An illusion,

a shadow, a story.

And the greatest good is little enough;

for all life is a dream,

and dreams themselves are only dreams." by Pedro Calderón de la Barca

Either intended or not, you managed to reflect the exact same idea perfectly. Loved it!

This would have been better if i had gotten the sense that you cared for Kate the character. As it is, everyone is jaded or evil, and it's confusing as hell
