~Fear, Itself: Drabble Three~

Sam? In Sunnydale? Will could hear Josh muttering across the room as he watched the newscast. Any Californian was smart enough to know not to go to Sunnydale. Things died there, things disappeared.

But then Donna was at his shoulder, drawing him away. "Keyworth's on the phone, Josh." She pulled Will aside into her cubicle. "I think Sam's dead."

"Why was he in Sunnydale?"

"Why not? Sunnydale sounded quiet, and Sam wanted quiet. He's writing a book..." Donna trailed off and dabbed at her eyes.

Sam was smart enough to avoid death in Sunnydale... right? But the newscast suggested otherwise.
