My, how quiet this site becomes during NaNo. Well, if you wanted to do a secret santa exchange next month, Becca is organizing one over on tumblr under the tag "christmas truce." Deadline for signing up is Nov 23.
Band-aid
November 19, 2013
There was a crash upstairs.
"Jack, sweetie, is that you?" she called, not looking up from her work.
No reply. Just more bangs and bumps.
"Danny…?" she murmured, moving to the staircase. "What's going on?"
The door above her swung open to reveal Danny Phantom.
"Ghost!" she yelled, whipping out a gun. "What are you doing here?"
A harsh cough. "I was wondering… if I could bother you… for a band-aid…"
She stared at him in disbelief when he fell to the floor and tumbled down the stairs toward her.
One thought: he couldn't fake that trail of blood…
Oh how I have struggled over that last line. I don't know if that was what I wanted it to say or not. But it's what I'm having it say. So there.
