With you sitting across from me, we could handle anything in the universe. And now that you’re—I can’t say gone, I won’t say gone—suddenly I’m drowning. I can’t breathe because you are my air. You made me want to live again during that first trip to Abydos. The year you were ascended, I merely existed. Now, I’m the linchpin that everyone is focused upon (hell, even Carter. When did she become another problem instead of part of a solution?) Without you sitting across from me, I’m a house of cards in a coming gale. You must come back.

I've never written a drabble. Maybe that's what I should do to kick-start my lethargic muse.

Date: 2005-03-21 09:47 am (UTC)This is only the second one I've written. To me, it's sort of like a poem because each word is scrutinized to try to hit 100 words on the nose. And they are short and (should be, to me atleast) very focused.
And they're short. Did I mention they're short? That's really nice. *g*
