Drabble Challenge - Achieve

There are days when the rattle and thrum of this city are too loud for me, when I want them all to stop fussing, to leave me be so that I can think back, and decide whether it was all worth it. Was there anything, in all my life, that people will look back on, and say he did this? Through the blood and the fear and the deaths - aye, the deaths, too many by my own hands - through the pain and the secrecy, will anyone notice?

If nothing else, I did one good thing. I made them.

Cool. A Cowley POV. He did do a good thing, and for that, we thank him.

Oh nice. Very very nice. I envy your skills, I really do.

Oh, it's Cowley! I love how you captured his voice. Wonderful drabble. Worth reading several times. Thanks!

Not til the 'aye' did I realise we were in Cowley's POV and then I just thought, 'YES! What a brilliant idea'. And an excellent last three words.

Oh cool, a Cowley drabble! I really do like the man and he did something good indeed. He made them well. And you did well too, very well indeed.

Poor Cowley. A beautiful little insight into what must be a world of sadness lurking away in there. Awesome, as ever.

I knew it was him. It's the way he sees the world and that you've nailed beautifully. Thank you.

Really lovely. And spot on Cowley.

Great to see a Cowley POV. (I do love the old bugger.) And you've captured his voice so very well.

I can really hear his voice in this, esp the 'stop fussing' - seems a very him thing to think. And I like the play on the ep dialogue, he did make them after all!

I made them.

And for that alone Cowley deserves so much.

I really loved this little look into his reminisces of the past. And I loved that someone did a Cowley drabble, such a powerful character and so under used.

I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Lovely worship of the Cow. Wonderfully captured the voice of that ruthless man who wanted to do right by his country even if that meant doing wrong. So happy now.

Oh nice! We don't get C's pov often enough!
