The first of at least two, hopefully 3 offerings :)



“Waste of time. He’s not ‘ere.”

"Mickey’s normally reliable. Something’s happened."

"He’s not here. And I’d rather be…?"

"Watch out!"

A crack of bullets gouges chips from nearby concrete: they run, take cover, eyes searching the wasteland of bomb-haunted rubble. They catch their breath like hunting animals, panting rapidly.

Across cratered ground the factory ruins loom large.

"First floor. Scaffolding." Bodie has soldier’s eyes.

He crouches, ready to run, to draw fire. Then Doyle's hand covers his, easy as a kiss. I guard you, and you, me.

He leaps forward. The future is unknown, but Doyle will always save him.

That was lovely, thank you - you've squeezed so much gorgeous imagery into a small space! I love the wasteland of bomb-haunted rubble - you can see it straight away.

Doyle's hand covers his, easy as a kiss. What a beautiful image!
Lots going on in a brief peak into the lad's world. Well done!

Ooh I like the intensity of the moment and the way it crystallizes their feelings for each other.

Such a strong scene! Well done! :D
