Title: Through the Eyes of a Child
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Challenge: 297 – Role Model
Characters/Pairing: Sarah
Warnings/Spoilers: None


Sarah’s job wasn’t so glamorous.

Despite her love of historical research, most of her work at the British Museum was quite dull and mundane. Any time they received a new artifact, Sarah was lucky if she got five minutes alone to study the object.

The majority of her time was relegated to giving tours to fidgety school children. Most of them were too busy wandering off or teasing each other to pay attention.

All except for a girl no more than eight years old, eyes wide with wonder as Sarah retold myths of Ammut.

Sometimes her job wasn’t so bad.

That's lovely! I adore the image of the wide-eyed child hanging on Sarah's every word ...

Lovely! It must be a great feeling to think that you might have inspired a young child to go further with a subject.

That's a lovely drabble, and great to think that she might have started that child's interest in Egyptology.

Really like this - Sarah is well-described and I totally wasn't expecting *her* to be the role model. Nice twist.

Yes, that's how we met Sarah. She can't even imagine what's going to happen next, poor girl.
