Title: Perfection
Challenge: a mistake
Notes: Um. I'm all angsty lately, but I like this. Idea comes from Liebling's story Sky, HP. Vimes is Pterry's.

It was a mistake, Vimes reflected bitterly, staring up at the stars, water flowing around him. A mistake to pick up the first bottle, a mistake to pick up the third. And sixth. Poor old Samuel Vimes, drinking himself to death. Oh look, he's in the gutter again, don't worry bout it, he'll be round come morning

He stared up at the stars. City boys didn't see many stars. But stars were.. perfect. Beautiful. In their blackblack sky...Stars were always perfect, glittering, winking at him, laughing silently at hungover Samuel Vimes, lying in the gutter.

The stars were perfect.

Samuel Vimes was the mistake.
