Today these are 3 stand alone half-drabbles inspired by lines from one poem.

                               

Prompted by: Death sets a Thing significant ~Emily Dickinson

.

To ponder little Workmanships

"Admittedly, THRUSH does get rather creative." Illya pointed at the device he'd just disarmed. "Dual timer.

Had I not discovered before cutting the first wire, we both would be pulling up daisies."

Napoleon smiled at his partner's malapropism."That's pushing up daisies."

"Pulling, pushing... does it matter? Dead is dead."

.
A Book I have—a friend gave—

Illya stroked the old binding of the book his partner had just given him for his birthday, or as Napoleon had dubbed it...un-birthday, helping him to forget his sad past around that date.

"Spacibo. I read this book once as a child then burned it for warmth. It was banned later on, so I never saw it again.

.
Too Costly for Repairs.

Someday they won't be able to put Humpty Dumpty together again," Solo said to his bed-ridden partner.

"Who is Humpty Dumpty?"

"Not worth explaining. Get better and stop getting shot?"

"Not like I do it on purpose."

"Really? You stepped in front of me when he fired..."

"I did?"

Oh dear, taking the initiative to look up Humpty Dumpty. Actually Napoleon paraphrased it, because all the Kings horses and men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again, but Illya didn't know that... snicker.

Thanks for commenting!
