Supernatural Drabble: Postlude

The Connotations Slash Con ran a writing workshop, during which people were asked to write a drabble in ten minutes using the randomly selected prompt words. These were: peach, pendulous, and whisker. You can imagine that there were some rather pornographic drabbles that came out of that one. I went the other route (yes, I know, I didn’t write porn. Shock horror.) and thought I’d post it here for you guys.

 

Supernatural – Gen or mild Sam/Dean – PG



Postlude

 

Time moves like a clever cat, always a whisker away from death. They stand in the valley, pale peach dawn creeping across the land.                

“It’s as good a place as any,” Dean says, lowering himself to the ground. He’s lying. It’s just that this is as far as they can go.

Sam kneels besides his brother, hands brushing the blood-soaked t-shirt. It must hurt, but instead of flinching away Dean leans into the touch. There’s nothing to do but wait.

In the horizon, a black cloud is already forming, pendulous and heavy with things against which they have no weapons.

I like the visuals. Pretty powerful in such a small amount.

Thank you very much. Lately I've only had time to write drabbles, but I find them a good writing exercise.

In my opinion, any writing is good writing. ;D

At 1:13 a.m. this makes me cry! Beautiful!

*dries your tears* Thank you, but I'm sorry for making you cry.

Sigh ... Loved this when I first read it and still loving it. I'm not sure which of the boys I'm feeling sorrier for at this moment.

Thank you very much, again! We do such terrible things to the boys...

It's such fun though isn't it ...

Even better written and not sandwiched between other people's drabbles.

Thank you very much! Again! You keep this up and my ego will expand beyond recognition...

I can always find a spider to burst the bubble...
