Escape

Status: Completed 8/23/2009

Season: Late

Disclaimer: Not mine.

Word Count: 100

Author's Notes: Written for the stargatedrabbles list's "Any & All" challenge to write a fic between 100 and 1500 words using as many words as possible from a list. I managed to squeeze in nineteen: swollen, bandage, injured, red, cut, sleep, nightfall, miles, mission, order, trapped, behind, enemy, alone, no, hide, radio, escape, friends. Unbeta'd.


Jack grimaced as pain shot through his swollen knee. The bandage on his injured arm was soaked red with blood, the cut apparently still bleeding. The lure of sleep was strong, but nightfall came quickly on this planet and he was still miles from the 'gate.

Yet another 'easy' mission had deteriorated quickly. Jack had given the order to retreat then found himself trapped behind enemy lines. Alone with no place to hide, radio busted, his chances for escape slim.

A twig snapped.

"Don't shot!" a familiar voice shouted.

Smiling, Jack looked up into the relieved faces of his friends.
