For anyone who doesn't know, a drabble is a 100-word story, usually humorous, that originated in the Dr. Who fandom.

He was broken. A million bones shattered in a million places. He was unhealable.

Except he would heal. It would take weeks but his body would mend itself back together. It shouldn't be possible, that much pain shouldn't be possible. But it was.

Angel didn't know what to do. Spike laid there like a broken doll, screaming for him over and over again but he didn't move. It all blurred in a storm of tears and Angel stood frozen.

It was all just a bad dream. He would wake up and Spike would be curled up next to him, safe, whole.

Spike kept screaming.
