The Truth Doesn't Hurt - A little Drabble Do Ya! - July 15th

Time seemed to freeze in commissary. The words ‘Commie Bastard’ had caused a collective intake of breath, and everyone watched to see how the new Russian agent would react.

Illya Kuryakin, who was used to such verbal abuse, slowly turned to face the man who had uttered the apparent slur.

“I am assuming you intended for that epithet to be an insult,” he stated calmly. “Unfortunately, a person cannot be insulted by the truth. I am indeed a ‘Commie’, as you so crudely put it. You will also come to learn that I can also be quite a bastard sometimes.”

Ewww, now that's one tough Russian. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of his ire. Good drabble.

Thank you :-)
This is actually a semi-autobiographical tale. I was once called a 'Fat Bitch', and my response was 'You're correct! On both counts'.

You rock. don't know if you saw it, but I posted a sequel to last week "Wedding Traditions' drabble. It's not a drabble as too much take place for 100 words to be enough. It's called "Solo's Revenge" and I think you'll enjoy the imagery. LOL! :D

Imagine having to face down the man who spoke that final word. Brrr... is it cold in here?

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

You can almost hear the ice forming.

Bravo, Kuryakin and jantojones. This is one of those scenes I wish they'd filmed in canon.

Thank you :-)
That is one of the best compliments a writer can get?

Especially to people who think they should be nasty to him

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Exactly :-)

Nice retort, Mr. K. Nice drabble, Glenna.

Nice retort, Mr. K. Nice drabble, Janto.

On being called a "bitch", I retorted with "you say it like it's a bad thing"! I had only recently seen that phrase in a store ore something. It became my happy little comeback! Good Drabble, jantojones!!

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

I like that as a comeback :-) I may have to borrow it.

Oh, I can really hear him saying that line! Brilliant drabble, thank you.
