S.P. Drabbles
001 – Chinas Sorrows
China was desperate. She lay in her bed between silky grey pillows, tears running down her rosy cheeks. She sniffed and a certain skeleton detective sat beside her, hocking his bony fingers into hers and stroking her hair with compassion and love.
"I can't believe it, Skulduggery!"
"I know it's confusing, but you have to be strong, my love."
"All this years...it had been so self-evident and now everything has...turned to dust."
"It's never easy to say goodbye to a family member. I know what I'm talking about."
"Skull! What am I supposed to do without them!?"
"..eerrr..."
"All this knowledge! All this magic! Gone forever...this was the last time anybody controlling a weapon like this comes close to my precious books!"
Skulduggery froze. China dipped her head into the pillows and screamed out her misery.
"Oh my books...my precious books!!!!"
The skeleton stood up and went.
