This series is a 37-part drabble series done for InsaneJournal's Gusmas 2011 challenge. For each 100 word drabble written, a dollar is donated to a charity to support LGBT teens who are homeless. The challenge calls for each drabble to be based on a daily prompt and that it consist of exactly 100 words. I'll include the prompt with each drabble along with any warnings and notes. Enjoy!

Prompt(s): Nov. 25th - Thankful
Warnings: This part deals with the night of Justin's bashing
He doesn't believe in God.
At least, not like Debbie or Joan.
But as he sits in the lumpy chair in UPMC's waiting room, he wants to believe. Brian wants to think that their God wouldn't take a kid like Sunshine. Not yet. Not when he's just started living.
The hours creep on though, painfully steady. Jen's barely keeping it together across the room. Justin's asshole father hasn't sat down since arriving.
Then it finally happens.
Brian hears the surgeon's clinical voice, the words critical and touch-and-go.
He's overwhelmed, just really fucking grateful that no one said that word.
Dead.
