erika, I never used to think of myself as a miniaturist, but a writer buddy turned me on to flash fiction (500 words or less) and I just feel in love with it.
I really do love the drabble form. I love the constraint it imposes.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Second drabble. The quote's from S2/Episode 15. Phases, Oz werewolfing.

Blame
In the living room of the comfortable house on Revello Drive, the girl stands rigid.
The cushions on the sofa are still imprinted with the shape of her mother's thigh, her skull, a ghostly memory of her fingers. Buffy wonders if she'll ever be able to sit there again.
The mortuary people have taken Joyce away.
Buffy stands in a patch of warmth, shivering and desolate. Suppose I'd been here, she wonders, suppose I hadn't been out, suppose....
Giles knows her better than anyone else. Shaken, grieving, he touches her and tells her, you can't blame yourself for every death.

Really lovely drabbles this time, Deb, as usual. I very much like this theme though. It's nice and you've done nice things with it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Possibility by Te.
Please note that this link leads to Justice League slash (the animated series) of the NC-17 kind, and that it is, indeed, Batman/Flash. (Don't clicky if that's squicky, yo.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
t notes that the first slash/fic I ever wrote was Batslash, and I was 14.
