silver_sunTitle: Words We Take With Us
Rating: G
Characters: Gene Hunt
Fandom: Life on Mars (UK version)
Written for the Life On Mars drabble post here http://lifein1973.livejournal.com/2273542.html Which has a use one of the given quote theme this week. The quote I chose makes up the first line of the drabble.
"Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armour and it can never be used to hurt you."
The words have stuck with Gene for years and have helped shape him into the man he’s become.
Part of him thinks it would have been good had it been his father or some old copper who’d given him the advice when he’d first joined the force. The other part, the one that knows it came from a cowboy film he’d seen at the picture house on Lemon Street, thinks stop being such a pansy.
