Undefeated - A Drabble

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

There is something in the depths of the human soul that cannot accept death. Death stands as an enemy to be defeated; waging that war is what propels people to greatness. To lose is to gain nothing, contrary to what philosophers and theologians say.

Illya Kuryakin had no intention of losing this war with death. He had not come this far, survived the war and the Germans, his own countrymen, to succumb now to an eternal void. Death was his enemy, and those who wielded the weapons intended for his demise would go away defeated

They would simply be gone.

Great drabble! So determined Illya...

Very determined. Maybe that's what keeps him so youthful.

Sounds so much like Illya. Great drabble!

Thank you so much. Capturing the right 'voice' is always the aim, and I appreciate knowing that it rings true, even in 100 words.

Powerful stuff. And the pic from Navaronne sets the mood perfectly.

I love that picture. It is very artful, moody... wonderful.
So, where's your drabble?You should post it here ;)

Oh, I completely forgot about it! I've been so busy working on "Ten Plagues"--3/4 of the way done now, but I've been kind of obsessed with completing it.

I will try to remember to post the drabble tomorrow. :)

You're up sort of late, aren't you? Svet is up really early, and you're up late. I'm heading for bed... sleepy. I have a mural to finish tomorrow, need to start earlier than normal.
No rush on the drabble, but it's a good one and it would be nice to share it.
