The Randomness of Life

by MLaw

Drabbles, half drabbles. Some based upon lines or stanzas of poetry. Most are stand alones, and some tell a story. A few of these drabbles have been made into longer fics: "A Leaf Moves,"Zaporoche,""The Test" and "The Congo Affair." Hope you enjoy! Comments welcome!

36. Was it the proud full sail

Sonnet 86: Was it the proud full sail of his great verse~William Shakespeare

.

Was it his spirit, by spirits taught to write

Sometimes I wonder about my partner. He's so intelligent, cunning...a perfect spy; if it weren't for the fact that we're best friends.

Spies aren't supposed to have attachments, but ours, I think, makes us stronger.

Illya hides his past, his feelings...his soul; if he'd admit to having one.

.
Which nightly gulls him with intelligence,

He lets free snippets of his vast information...what is truth or falsehoods? Is it from years in the spy business? Old habits...

I trust him with my life, and he trusts me and that's all that counts in the long run.

His personal life doesn't matter; yet still, I'm curious.
