Aka "The Under 500 Club". Here you can read my drabbles, word count is strictly under 500/writing, with different characters/pairings/genres/whatever. Current: Lit - Blaise & Astoria (kinda cheated with the word limit but meh)

1. 1: Down

A/N: Warnings: Unnecessary alcohol consumption, depressive themes.

The thing about depression is that you can't do anything to stop it. Once you get sucked in the feelings of angst, worthlessness, and just generally being miserable, you can't come out completely. There will always be a next time when you lose all hope. It always comes back to you from time to time.

And sometimes the pain is unbearable. And we all have different ways of dealing with it. We're all addicted to something that takes the pain away. Some hurt themselves, some write about it, others just drink.

It's a temporary solution, the man thought as he gulped down another shot. But it works surprisingly effectively.
