Open On Sundays Drabble - Books
May. 3rd, 2004 10:25 pmOnly one drabble this week. Still brain-dead from a tiring weekend.
Title: Bedtime Stories
Setting: Pre-BtVS
Rating: G
His mother didn’t read him the usual bedtime stories. Other kids paid nightly visits to the world of Peter Pan, made friends with Winnie the Pooh, and laughed at the antics of the Cheshire Cat. It was different at his house. The stories he heard were frightening, but she said they were things he needed to know.
His fingers traced the 'V' etched into the leather cover of the thick book that she had been reading to him. Nikki rose from his bed, tucked his blankets securely around him, and kissed him goodnight.
"Remember, Robin, the mission is what matters."
