The Trip

July 2004

This story was written in response to the Sentinel Angst List July Themefic from DawnC. OPTION 1: Jim and Blair are in the woods and something unusual happens to Blair that involves angst or hurt/comfort. They are far from help. When I say unusual, I mean try to be creative :-) They've run into a million bad guys in the woods and fallen off a million cliffs in the fanfic world LOL (Not that there's anything wrong with those stories... hey I wrote one or two of them myself!)

So… I decided to try to do something unusual for me too; a drabble. A drabble is one hundred words long. Can you imagine me trying to do a complete scene using only one hundred words? I mean really… this intro is longer than that. <G> But the story below is exactly one hundred words. Let me know what you think.

Jim was laughing as he walked up the trail to their campsite. He'd been giving Blair a hard time about having to clean all the fish because Jim had caught more.

Blair told the Sentinel that he'd cheated by using his vision to see exactly where the fish were, so Blair shouldn't have to clean the fish.

Both men came to a dead stop as they entered their campsite. They looked around carefully and then looked at each other in shocked amazement. This had never happened to them before.

Someone had stolen their tent and Blair's brand new sleeping bag.
