31_Days Prompts; (April 16th - April 20th)
April 16: I will show you fear in a handful of dust (Charmed; Prue) 55 Words
There was a self-confidence about her that you would never expect from her sisters, it was a trait purely Prue. The way she stared down the demon, fist full of charred ashes from it's companion's demise and asked, "Now, do you want to help me, or do you want this to happen to you too?"
-
April 17: Dollar diplomacy (House, M.D.; Greg House.) 57 Words
"Look kid," House began, leaning on his cane in a way that suggested it was not for practical use, but for show only, "obviously you have this issue with doing dumb stuff for money, but hows about this time I slip you my friend George and his friends, and you agree to have this really smart test?"
-
April 18: (in parenthesis) (Tawny Man Trilogy; Fitz, The Fool) 64 Words
There were many reasons for leaving a thing unsaid, but the most profound was already knowing someone so well and so deeply that they need never say a word for you to know regardless how they would react, what the would say or do. That was why the Fool had so tactfully danced around the edges of meaning, and now you had ruined everything.
-
April 19: Strangers in the dark (Arthurian Legend; Lancelot, Guinevere) 59 words
It hurt so much less in the night-time. If she kept her eyes unfocused she could pretend. Not pretend that he was Arthur, she would not belittle either man, but pretend that he were just a man, her night lover, and she were just a lady, free to do as she wished, cloaked and hugged by the dark's embrace.
-
April 20: Into every young man's bedroom you gave it up (Imajica; Pie'oh'Pah) 58 Words
Even too much of pleasure became a trial in the end. Retreating into yet another stranger's room, knowing his innermost desires before he knew them himself and outwardly protraying them without even trying. Laying back and doing your job, all because of one cruel, flippant comment set to haunt the both of you forever, if he ever remembered.
