Title: Snapshots

Summary: Moments in time. My answer to the Ten-Ten Challenge on Raising. Ten drabbles from ten different characters. Drabble 1: Biggs - Soldier.

Spoilers: In this drabble, major spoilers for "Love Among the Runes."

Disclaimer: It's not mine. I don't own it. I don't even have a clever disclaimer, lol. ;)

A/N: As soon as I read the challenge, bunnies jumped me like crazy. :) All but one of them turned out to be angst, and they can all be seen as separate stories, but a few of them do relate to each other. I plan to post one drabble every couple days. I hope you enjoy them and please let me know what you think!

A/N2: The Lord is amazing. I can never praise Him enough for all He's done. :)

Biggs - Soldier

Biggs had never been afraid to die.

Manticore had drilled into them over and over that they were expendable. He'd never bought into that exactly, but he was a soldier, and soldiers served. Sometimes, they didn't come back.

Someday, he wouldn't come back.

Biggs had accepted that.

He'd always figured that he'd get killed on a mission, though, or in a battle…or maybe, if he really messed up, in Psy-Ops.

He never thought it would be like this.

Soldiers weren't supposed to die at the hands of a mob. They weren't supposed to be afraid, either.

But, right now…he was.

A/N: Thank you for reading, and please let me know what you think! All the drabbles are already complete, and the next drabble should, Lord willing, be up in a couple days.

Take care and God bless!
