My name is Oswin Oswald. I am human.

I groaned, dragging myself out of the crashed ship. Where was I?

I am a human being. It was my first time in space, I was on the shuttle Alaska. That's where I was born, Alaska. On Earth. Lovely planet, so beautiful.

I ran, ran as fast as I could. I couldn't even think straight, something was messing with my head... But I could fight it. I'm smart, some might say brilliant. I can fight this.

My name is Oswin Oswald. I am human.

I couldn't stop screaming. These Daleks, they were insane. They were doing things to me. Everything was flickering. Words and numbers flew across my mind. No. No! They can't do this! I am human!

My name is Oswin Oswald. I am a human being.

I have so much knowledge at my disposal. They put me into Intensive Care, chained me to a wall inside this horrific metal shell, this abomination. They took away my sanity.

I am human. What did they do to me? This can't be me! I can't – I – I can't!

My name...

Eggs. Souffles, Mother always liked souffles. I could never cook properly, but whatever. Eggs, eggs and milk, that's all you need.

Eggs.

Eggs.

Ex...ter...min...ate.

It's a dream. Somewhere, someplace in my mind, I am aware of that. But I can't face it. I can't be a Dalek, it's not possible!

My name is Oswin Oswald. I am human.

This Doctor man, he's such a flirt. He doesn't realize it, but he is. He's amusing.

I can hack into the database, into the Dalek's systems. So much information there, and really quite simple to get to.

Oh, that's interesting. They're scared of him. I wonder why that is? Predator? Huh.

My name is Oswin Oswald. I am human.

Right. He just needs to come and find me, that Doctor. He can find me, and get me out of this mess. I've been here for a year, I don't know if I can take it much longer without going insane.

Get him past the Daleks, hack into their network, erase all information... Hah! There we go! Come on, Doctor, show me the stars.

...What do you mean? Of course this is real.

My name is Oswin Oswald. I am human.

Doctor, what are you talking about?

Screaming. Pain.

I am human.

Why do the eggs matter? Why do you care about souffles right now? Doctor, no!

I am...

Screaming. It hurts, oh, it hurts!

The truth... Doctor... The souffles, really, that's how you figured it out?

Eggs. Eggs and milk. Milk and eggs.

Eggs.

Exterminate.

No!

My name is Oswin Oswald!

I.

Am.

Human!

Doctor, run. I've taken down the force field, but you need to run. Get Amy and Rory out of here.

Just remember me.

My name is Oswin Oswald.

I am human.

I was born a human.

I lived as a human.

I died a human.


I just saw Asylum of the Daleks, and after the initial "OHMIGOSH" period of time after that where I'm completely incapable of coherent thoughts, I managed to write this.

It's rather jumbled up, but I wrote it in under ten minutes, so... Yeah. Not sure why it's separated between italics and normal font, but I think I did a good job.

Oswin Oswald was probably one of the best characters on Doctor Who I've seen so far. Cannot wait to see the rest of the series! Eek!
