Another drabble...

[jennyaxe]

Stupid cold back again. Have been home with fever, runny nose and a cough so bad I threw up from coughing yesterday. A problem with trying to write is that even though I have ideas, and I compose stuff in my head, I never seem to have the time or energy to actually get it written down. Either I'm at work, or tired after work, or it's Saturday and I'm tired after a whole work week, or it's Sunday and I'm tired from riding. That's why I've never yet posted any long story. Drabbles are easier.

Surrogate

He's got several canes, all different, but eerily similar. They all do the same thing for him - while he's using them he can almost walk like a whole man. They're not what he really wants, though; they're just a replacement for the leg he still misses.

He's got several hookers, all different, but eerily similar. They all do the same thing for him - while he's using them, he can almost feel like a whole man. They're not what he really wants, though; they're just a replacement for the man he still desires.

He pretends he's not making do.

I absolutely adored this fic, it was tender and plausible... sad though.

Poor, poor House. Poor, poor Wilson.

Packs a lot of punch for 100 words.

I loved how you said so much with so little. I also likethe use of repetition, that was effective.

Very nicely done. Write one for Wilson, too ("He has several wives" etc) Then put the boys together!!

Yowzer. This packs a hell of a punch for 100 words. Especially the last line.
