Drabble: Hailstorm Fury

[przed.livejournal.com]

I didn't half leave this one till the last minute. But here's my stab at a Bonfire Night, fireworks inspired drabble.


Hailstorm Fury

Being partnered with Doyle was far too often like being caught in the middle of a bloody great storm, thunder and lightning crashing around you, wind furiously lashing hail and sleet in your face.

But no storm lasted forever, and there were other times when Doyle was both safe harbour and eye of the storm. Moments like right now, with Doyle the one still point on the Heath, watching as fireworks launched into the sky and sprogs with sparklers dashed about waiting for the Guy to burn.

The sound and fury, Bodie knew, only made the stillness all the sweeter.

Oh, I liked that! Both the contrast of Doyle in motion (the sturm and drang of him) and at rest. I also like how the image of him as a still point calls to mind (for me, at least), him being the one thing Bodie's universe revolves around. Very nice.

It's Doyle's contrasts that make him so darn interesting. And I like the thought of that, Bodie's universe revolving around Doyle.
