"Write a story in 300 words or less"
Wrote this little thing while doing homework to test myself. I always try to write long one shots so instead i tried to see if i could write a decent story in 300 words or less. Might do this every once in awhile just for fun. Just whenever I'm stuck in a slump.
I do have two Valentine's Day fics that should be up later this week, they just need to be edited 'cause i wrote them half asleep (though I'll put up teasers on my tumblr twisted-pride if you want a sneak peak!) .
No spoiler warning.
"Sammy? C'mon dude, this isn't funny. " The man's voice echoes through the abandoned house, tone both filled with humour and underlying fear.
"Sam?" he calls out again, this time a bit louder and the fear much more evident in his voice.
Still no reply is received and a feeling of unease washes over the man. His brother always responds when called but this time, he heard nothing. Not even the sound of footfalls to signify another was moving in the house.
"Sam?" He's yelling now, the man worried, and he moves faster, caution thrown to the wind. Something is wrong, the man can feel it in his bones and gun still in hand, he searches the rest of the house. He continues to shout his brother's name but never once does he get a reply.
Finally, upon entering the last room at the far end of the house, does the man find his brother.
"No," he whispers, green eyes wide.
His baby brother lies on the floor, surrounded by scarlet. A heavy weight presses down on the man's chest as he moves towards his brother, dropping to his knees before the body.
"Sam, c'mon man," he says, gently shaking the body. "You gotta wake up. You'll be alright."
But like before there is no response and the man begins to panic.
"Sam? Sammy?"
He shakes the body harder, getting no reaction still and after a bit, a lump settles in his throat. The truth comes crashing down upon him and the man blinks away the tears, now cradling the limp body of his baby brother.
"It's my job to protect you, Sammy. I'm sorry. " Tears are falling down his cheeks. He failed. There's a click, the only option he has left to being with his brother.
"I'm coming Sammy."
yeah, it's short but i keep pushing myself to make huge, long fics so while working on my other fics, i had the idea for this one but tried to make it short and sweet (i loved writing drabbles a little while back so it's always a fun challenge to write something with a small word count). I do promise longer things soon just school's been real demanding lately and i'm really tired.
Lemme know what length of stories you like reading:
100-500 words, 500-1000, 1000-2000, 2000-3000, 3000-5000, or 7000+ (purely cause i'm curious and i'll try to make more stories that length though keep in mind the longer it is, the longer it takes for me to post it).
