Title: blow a kiss to the Milky Way
Fandom: Numb3rs
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Numb3rs belongs to a whole lot of people who aren't me.
Pairings: Gen (Colby)
Word Count: 100
Prompt: "Coal Miner's Song" and numb3rs100 #175 - Soldier
Notes: From a series of drabbles based on songs from Nico Vega's self-titled album.
The sky in Afghanistan is as big as the sky over Idaho, but there’s still something alien about it than makes Colby’s skin crawl as he cranes his head back. The mountains that rip at the horizon aren’t the mountains of home. Too dusty, too angry, too full of the wrong kind of history. A history of men fighting for a patch of land not because it was worth anything, but because they needed a place to fight and nobody cared about this rocky country. Eight months out here, and it’s not just the land that nobody cares about here.
