The gold watch sat heavy and awkward on her slender wrist; its loud tick intruded, interrupted, reminded.

It had a tick, but no tock.

There was no counterpoint, no balance, no other half to its sound. Just an endless repetition, counting away the seconds.

She heard it in her sleeping and in her waking. But she would not remove it.

Ever.

She would not silence it because it was his watch and now her constant reminder.

It lay over her pulse. Tick, beat, tick, beat, tick, beat.

Her heart to Mick’s tick.

It was all she had left of him.
Beautiful drabbles, and now that I got to know how limited they have to be they seem even harder to make...And that one, just killed me... :hankie:

Truly lovely, Red.

There is something so very precious about these drabbles.

Sensory input provides the basic sketch and then the rich emotional context provides the color, shadow and soul.

Stunningly lovely! Even the watch one. Ouch.

maggatha, Grace has never forgiven me for this one - because I killed Mick. What's more, after this I promised I'd never do it again and promptly broke my promise. :blushing:

jen, thanks! I can't remember what sparked these off (it was a long, long time ago) but I do love them.
