I'm uploading tomorrow's drabble (19th October) today, because tomorrow I am going to Manchester. Hurrah!

Did you know that I have never been to Manchester? I am uncharacteristically excited. Woo! So, you'll have to wait until Monday for the next one, after this. Sorry. Enjoy!


Date: 19th October

POV: Edward

Stimulus word: Return


It could hardly be called a triumphant return. I had flown back to Alaska on the irst available flight, but the atmosphere was different.

Frustrated. Forced, unnatural cheeriness,

I glared at Jasper, and the feeling died away immediately.

I could bear it no longer. With one last, pained look at my family in so many ways, gathered together, watching me warily, I ran from the room. I had been wrong, I was not strong enough.

Reaching the relative safety of the surrounding forest, I curled up in a ball, and waited to die.
