Standards - A little drabble do ya

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

The light turned on, buzzed briefly and died. Napoleon was almost relieved. He had seen some horrors in his time, but this...

Black mould crawled down every wall, and the damp and dust were heavy in the air. Gingerly, he pulled back the bedcovers, revealing stained nylon sheets. No. Exhausted he might be, but...no.

"I think -"

"Nyet." Illya was already lying fully clothed on top of the other bed. "I have been awake for three days and we have both seen worse."

True, but they didn't pay for THRUSH prisons. Not in cash anyway. "I'm going to sleep in the car. Try not to get bitten to death in the night."

A snore was his only answer.

OMG so grossly visual...some of it describes my bedroom windows (which is another reason why I'm tying to find a new apartment)

Nice twist as well. Good drabble!

Thanks - good thing it's a drabble or else the description might have got completely out of hand. We've got damp growing in a cupboard that doesn't get used, its a pain, so you have my sympathy.

Mmmm, yes nothing like the smell of bleach and disinfectant right?

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

Yep! Hope you find a new place soon.

i'm on a waiting list for Affordable Housing in my town. Been on it since October, hoping I'll get a call within the 6 month window and when the weather is nice. No fun moving in the cold and/or snow.
