Drabble Number: 30 follows Cuffed
Condom: Emmett
Brian's shoulder seemed to throb, though the injury was years old, and surely he was just imagining the pain.
The room was similar to the one Chris Hobbes's sentencing had taken place in. The atmosphere was not so different, either. He and Debbie and Jennifer and the others had been there back then, too, waiting with clenched fists and a knot of nerves in their stomachs. Then there were those who had shown up on behalf of Justin's attacker.
Now, though, one of those people was Justin's own sister.
And now, Justin himself was standing beside him, strong and steady. |

Title: Bite Your Tongue
Author: Xie
Drabble Number: 31; follows Then and Now
Condom: Deb
Debbie’s nails dug into Carl’s wrist. “Can you believe they might let that asshole out,” she began.
One of the members of the parole board gave her a dirty look.
“Deb, honey, don’t say anything until they call on you,” Carl said. “You don’t want to get thrown out.”
He glanced at the parole board, and said, “Shit.” Not quietly.
Debbie frowned. “Talk about a double standard. You can talk, but I…”
It was Carl’s turn to grip her wrist. “That guy there, second from the end?”
She looked. “What about him?”
His voice was grim. “That’s Jim Stockwell’s father-in-law.” |
