He drifted up from the depths of sleep, content to lie curled in warm safety.  The light was softened by the spring-green foliage of the tree outside the window, casting ever-moving shadows on the pale walls.  A light breeze brought scents of the climbing rose outside the window, and the rustle and chirp of busy small birds was peaceful.  Eyes closed, he smiled.  England.  Home.
 
A heavy boot thudded into his ribs, throwing him brokenly against the dank wall. “What the fuck did you give him?  We need him to talk!”
 
Far away, Bodie turned into his partner’s loving embrace.

Sweet Dreams

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Excellently done! And also eep, I hope Doyle's about to rescue him very very soon!

Reminds me of the ending of Terry Gilliam's Brazil ... ow. Strong stuff.

I haven't come across Brazil, so I will have to track that down. Glad it gave you an eep. And of course Doyle is on the way!

It's a great film - black comedy, with aspects that are very funny and aspects that are very, very black.

I've just realised - it was your request that prompted this one. The 'getting high' bit stuck, but sadly, not the accompanying lust! Must see what I can do about that...

Oh wow, I didn't realise - that's the beauty of throwing out a prompt, you never know what it might become in someone else's brain! Much cleverer and more original than anything I had imagined, to be honest.

Of course if you happen to feel like writing a bit of lust too ... *bg*

I love it - it's deliciously ambiguous in the best possible way. Thank you!

[murphybabe]

Hee - thank you!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oooh, very nice, gorgeously... um... *g*

And definitely slash - surely that's Doyle's embrace, that is?! *g*

[murphybabe]

*g* - yes, silly me - of course it's slash! Ta for the comment :-)

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

Very intriguing...

[murphybabe]

Thank you - there might be more soon!

Oh, ouch. That was mean of you to give me such sweetness and then smack me in the face! LOL! You got me good. I was sucked right in. Nice job with only a few words here. Thanks!

[murphybabe]

Yes, but good mean, I hope? Thanks for commenting!

[roven75.livejournal.com]

Very intense with such few words, very well done! Thanks!

[murphybabe]

Thank you for reading and leaving a kind comment :-)

Uhuhhh that's erm... great. I mean it's a really well written story, but it's so much hurt in it *sigh*. To compensate it, It must be slash of course ;-)

[murphybabe]

You're so right, of course it's slash! If it helps at all, I'm just about to post the sequel. Thanks for commenting!
