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.

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!

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you liked it. I do love Logan's contradictions. Sometimes he can be so crude and cruel, but he can also be oddly chivalrous. I wanted to try to capture a little of that sense he has of being responsible for his women.
