Hi there! This is for a very fun challenge I'm currently participating in called the Snakes and Ladders challenge. This will probably bethe first in a collection of Drabble/Oneshots. Please read, review, and enjoy!
Character: Frank Longbottom
White. White, white, white. That's what everything seemed to be from where Frank Longbottom sat. All the walls were white, all the sheets were white, all the women and men dressed in white. In this room, so bereft of color, he felt trapped and lonely.
He felt lonely, but was certainly not alone. She was always with him, sitting on the bed next to his. Her face was pale, and her hair was as hoary as the rest of the room, but he was very fond of her. He didn't quite why, as neither had spoken a word in all the time they had stayed there. Maybe it was because he recognized her. He didn't know how or why, but he knew the feeling was mutual. Still, he felt like something or someone was missing, a fact that pained him.
Frank heard a cough, and slowly turned, expecting to see a woman-in-white standing at the door. However, when his gaze fell on the person, he was suprised to instead find a boy.
Rather than being clad in white, as all the others were, this boy was bursting with color. He wore a navy knit sweater and tried to blow his chestnut hair out of his face as he placed a full, verdant plant on the white night stand.
The boy stood between in between the beds of Frank and the wispy haired woman, staring down at the floor, cheeks flushed pink. He looked so familiar, but Frank could not remember his name.
Finally, the boy sadly glanced up, and waved his hand slightly at the two.
" Hello Mum. Hello Dad."
