VM Drabble Challenge: My contribution

[scribblinlenore]

So fairy_tale_echo and I have issued a VM drabble challenge for today. You can read about it here.

This is my answer to the challenge (spoilers for Weapon of Class Destruction):



Challenge: Write a 100 word drabble on what was going through Logan's head when he was driving to the motel.


This Time

His thoughts are the predictable ones.

Take Sherman. It's faster.

Why is that asshole in the passing lane?

Fear comes in the form of pictures, not words, movies playing in his head, the same old dreams he has every night, Lily by the pool, his mother at the railing of the bridge, and him. Coming to the rescue, but always just a little bit too late.

He can't pinpoint when Veronica became one of the women in his life, not that it's even important. He stomps impatiently on the gas. All that matters is getting there in time for once.

Oh, wow. I LOVE that. Shall pimp this tonight and come up with a little something, if I'm not overloaded on Onyx. *blissful*

*loves on Logan and Logan's women*

Oh wow. He was *so* thinking this.

Poor Logan.

I love how the introspection intercuts with the immediate thoughts of needing to get to the hotel in time.

Yup. Exactly. She's there and he doesn't know what to do about it, but he's not going to have this happen again. Oh, the scene where he's telling the school counselor that if he had just BEEN there...

He can't pinpoint when Veronica became one of the women in his life, not that it's even important.

How I adore this line. I wish to marry it and live in a little house with it.

Thanks so much for playing and pimping this little drabble-game. You're the bestest! :D

Love the drabble, esp. this bit 'Fear comes in the form of pictures, not words, movies playing in his head' simply because I can really identify with that. Most of my strongest emotions are inwardly expressed in the form of flashes - semi-formed pictures/dreams/colors instead of linear thoughts.

Anyway, great job, and thanks for rounding up VM fen for this fun challenge. :D

This was great. And I agree with the drabble's explaination of Logan's actions - I think he has tremendous guilt about not saving either Lilly or his mother...and I like that he's not sure when Veronica became a woman in his life.

Loved this drabble!
