drabbles week thirteen: first aid

GHM DRABBLE CHALLENGE

HOW TO PLAY?
  • Every Monday, I will post a prompt. You have until the following Monday to write and reply with a 100-200 word fic, i.e. a 'drabble', inspired by the prompt. (For an extra challenge, try to hit exactly 100 words!)
  • You can reply with the full text of the drabble, or link out to another site like Ao3, Tumblr, etc.
  • Any rating is permitted; please warn for NSFW and content where appropriate.

  • WHAT ELSE?
  • Don't worry if you missed last week: you can go back and write a late response anytime.
  • You may post more than one response to a single week's prompt.
  • If you're inspired to continue your drabbles, you're welcome to connect multiple challenge responses to each other, or expand on your fics outside of the challenge.

    Characters: Henry, Jeane, Travis
    Rating: G
    Notes: these kids deserved a little better
    Word count: 96

    Henry huddles around Jeane, Travis on the other side as they duck against a withered tree. The warmth between them is scant, but it's there.

    Jeane glances down at Travis' bruised and scraped knee in mild concern; Henry is already approaching his younger brother with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. The salve stings, and they all grimace.

    Travis, twenty-seven and alone in his motel room, remembers these in bursts, names at the edges of his memory. He pets Jeane, and the recollections are gone as quickly as they came.
