A Drabble - The Air Smelled Of Sunrise.

[debris4spike]

I have been trying to get my life back together as most of you know - so have taken up a challenge that 

hollydb posted.  She listed the first line of some of her stories - and asked those who wanted to do a drabble.

So - here is my attempt!  I warn you now - I haven't written anything for about 8 months ... and overall have never written much!

The Air Smelled Of Sunrise. 

The air smelled of sunrise, he knew he had to stand up and head for his crypt.

How much longer could he continue with his life?

Patrolling with the Scoobies, then sitting with his girl.  Patrolling without the Scoobies, then sitting with his slayer.  Her place of rest was protected, her sister was cared for, her friends were looked after and her calling was continued.

Without her, how much longer could he continue with his life?

"'Till the end of the world" ... Thats how long.

Great meme! You took a wonderful first line and built around it; I especially loved the end. :)

Who knows? Maybe writing this will open the floodgates and send you on a creative spree.

Thank you - It is something I want to get back to, so took the challenge!

Thanks for the encouragement - that means a lot coming from you.

Very nice, and very true to that time period.

Thank you - that means alot when someone like you can comment on my scribble!

Since this definitely bears repeating, I'll say it again: I really loved what you did with this. In just a few words, you truly breathed life into a scene, and very much gave me the "feel" of a post "The Gift" world. I do hope you continue writing, even if it's only in drabbles for now. :)

Thanks - that really means a lot ... and, yes, I am going to get myself a bit more organised ... btw, which story was it?

Very nice.

I liked the use of the "Till the end of the world" quote in another sense.
