No Reason - A Little Drabble Do Ya

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Neither man had anything to offer, no words of wisdom or comfort.  One of their own was gone, a good agent who would not live to serve another day in the fight against evil and corruption.

Napoleon felt tired, burdened by the loss.  What did it mean to be Chief Enforcement Agent?  It meant you felt angry and … empty.
“Why do some of us come home safe, Illya?’  A sigh punctuated the misery… “How is that we survive and he didn’t?”

Illya recognized his friend’s agony, but for all of his facility with languages, there were no words now.

"but for all of his facility with languages, there were no words now." Loved that line!

Thank you. That line was the perfect irony to me.

Survivor's guilt is a powerful emotion. Great story.

I don't imagine NS succumbs to it very often, but once in a while it's bound to hit him. thanks.

An emotional piece. Good one.

thank you, it's bound to be something they would encounter and their emotional balance needs expression once in a while.

Heartbreaking and beautiful. You have a wonderful command of words, to paint such a vivid picture with so few. The last sentence is particularly poignant, as is the part about Napoleon feeling angry and empty.
