Never Enough
Title: Never Enough

Characters: Matthew
Rating: PG
Challenge: #2 - distraction
Matthew peered over the lip of the trench. In the inky darkness of no man’s land he saw ebony strands coifed to perfection.
Matthew listened to the explosions overhead. In the piercing shrill he heard cutting remarks uttered with ease and poise.
Matthew inhaled the warm vapor. In the rising steam of the mug in his hand he felt wisps of hot breath tinged with wine and sandwiches.
Blood and glory, bullets and guns, bombs and gore. Death and misery - an entire world at war - would never be enough to distract him from her.
