121 Drabbles


Author's Note

I've recently been feeling rather uninspired. I really want to go back to work on Sins of the Father and I know I always say it that I've got all 23 chapters of that fic outlined but for some reason I don't know, I just cannot get the creative juices to start flowing. So I'm giving myself a chance with this little exercise. It's going to be 121 drabbles; one drabble, one hundred words per Lost episode, one drabble every day for the next 121 days. They're going to be Jate-centric, as much as possible. If not then most probably either Kate or Jack centered but I might be willing to stray away sometimes. So here goes. We start with…


Pilot Part 1

Her breath against his back is erratic, her soft fingers tremble and her voice shivers when she speaks. Sweat drips in a jagged line along his spine and he sucks in an anguished breath when the needle breaks his skin. She voices her fear and he feels an instinctual desire to protect her; to protect her from her own fears. He struggles against his own and tries to calm her, and the tear that rolls down his cheek, saltiness burning the fresh wound over his stubble, is not because of the blunt needle penetrating his tender skin. He's scared too.


So, what do you think? Worth doing it?
