It’s raining again; Suzie likes it. Fewer people on the streets and they keep their heads down, hurrying home. It simplifies things.
Target selected, she follows him down an alleyway, reaching into her bag. Her fingers brush the glove and she smiles, grasping the knife that lies beside it and plunging it into an unsuspecting back.
Swapping leather glove for metal, she reaches for her victim’s head.
Suzie believes she’s helping people, learning to conquer death. But the glove is twined around her mind, whispering lies, obliterating the line between right and wrong. She thinks she’s in control.
She’s not.
The End
This is my first attempt at writing Suzie and I was rather pleased with it. She's a creepy character, but also very misguided.
Watching Day of the Doctors, I finally saw that glove again. I wondered if Jack knew that's where the glove came from?
Suzie really was creepy, but I think that was the influence of the glove. She thought she was controlling it, but it was the other way around. If she'd never put the glove on, she would probably have been a very different power, but it fed on her need for power and control, and ultimately it destroyed her. It's like with cybertechnology. Once the conversion started, Lisa was lost and I think once the glove made a connection with Suzie, the best parts of Suxie died. What was left wasn't very nice.
Thank you.
Sean Connery will always be my Bond, but I enjoyed Timothy Dalton in the role, his was a more serious Bond than Roger Moore and I tend to prefer that to Moore's tongue-in-cheek era.
Britain des have some excelent actors, but we also have our share of crap actors. I've been impressed with quite a few American actors though, some British actors have as much life to them as a plank of wood, and about as many facial expressions. Either that or they exagerrate everything.
The BBC is not what it was, they make fewer dramas these days and take fewer chances. I'm just thankful they continue to pay out for Doctor Who. I love the Weeping Angels, Blink is my favourite episode with the Tenth Doctor. I hope you eventually manage to find time to watch all of New Who, preferably in the right order!
It's my first attempt at writing her. She's a fasvinating character, but I wonder what she was like before the glove corrupted her and turned her into a serial killer.
Thank you.

We have no idea really how long she'd been working with the glove either. I tend to think the madness came from the glove, but she was already damaged, as most of the team seems to be, by her own past. The glove just fed on her need for control and twisted her inside so that she thought nothing of killing people to achieve her goal of defeating death. i gfeel sad for her, she was just so lost.
