A/N My Bones chapter-fic really hates me at the moment. Either that or there are just too many distractions. Anyway, the basic principle of this is you get a prompt (some are from The Muse Bunny, some are from LiveJournal, some are from a random word generator) and write. Some have word limits, some don't. Just go with it. :) Oh, Bones fandom, btw.

The Muse Bunny Drabble (100 words, nothing more, nothing less) Prompt #1: Conversation

Rating: K. -- Booth reflects on the Zack/Gormogan situation. Booth's POV.

Disclaimer: I own an iPod charger that is broken, but not Bones or anything related to it.


Bones told me I should make more of an effort with Zack. She said he respected me. Looked up to me. I didn't listen.

I ignored him, said it was a guy thing. Like that made it better.

When he came to me after getting the letter about Iraq, I knew Bones was right. However, I still didn't change.

That was the only time I'd really spoken to Zack.

One more conversation was the least I could've given him. Maybe one more conversation would've stopped him doing what he did.

But it was too late now. I couldn't save him.


Keeping to 100 words is hard. Anyway, I'll have more up soon. Reviews would be much appreciated.
