A Much Needed Rest - A Little Drabble Do ya! - Jan 20th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

The darkness of the room was wonderfully encompassing. In the distance, he could hear the sounds of the civilization around him, but they were far enough away not to be a disturbance. As he let himself relax into the mattress, he tried to remember the last time he’d had a good night’s sleep. He was desperately tired and there was only so long a person could go without proper rest. Closing his eyes, he sighed in contentment. As he drifted into his slumber, a tiny part of him hoped he wouldn’t be rescued from the THRUSH cell until the morning.

I have so had days (nights?) like that!

I think we all have at some point :-)

Now that's tired when you hope not to be rescued yet

He's got a bed, and some peace and quiet. He doesn't care where it is.

Nice change up, the last line was totally unexpected

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I like to misdirect people with my drabbles sometimes.

We'll hope so, too. Besides the good twist, a very solid and soothing picture of Illya's(?) feelings.

Thank you so much?
I deliberately kept it ambiguous, but I will admit that in my mind it is Illya.

See, that's got to be when you know you're really overworked. Nicely done.

Sometimes all that matters is getting a little shut-eye :-)

Nice. Loved the opening line.

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Thank you :-)
The first line reflects my desire to have a totally dark room when I sleep.

Thanks for this quiet moment in a busy spy's life... and for giving him a break.

Excellent! I think many of us can relate to how he feels.

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Thanks :-) I know I've had times when I could have slept absolutely anywhere.
