Drive Drabble
This week's Open_on_Sunday challenge is drive.
Stake
Xander
Season 1-The Harvest
One year it had rained on Christmas so Xander had put up a tent. He can remember pounding the tent stakes into the cold, wet ground with a rock. The ground had been too hard and the stake hadn’t been nearly hard enough. Xander is pretty sure ribs are hard too. Driving a stake home should take some serious effort. Xander figures killing a vampire should be tough, but when Jesse falls on him the stake slides in like a knife through butter. He can’t believe he just killed his best friend. He can’t believe it was so damn easy.
Line Drive
Jenny the Baseball Girl
Post-Chosen
Jenny used to play first base before, but now she played outfield. She had the hustle to catch the grounders, the jump to catch the flies and the arm to throw straight to home. She was the top batter in the league too. She was so good, Barry Bonds wished he could hit like her. When Jenny was at bat, rival outfielders didn’t even try and her teammates all knew they were coming home. Pitchers were terrified of her. They weren’t worried about home runs, no, not after that first line drive. They still hadn’t found all that girl’s teeth.
