Here's my first 100-word drabble. It was written with arrmaitee.

His Screams Fill The Night

by

Daylyn

His screams fill the night.

The boy lies in the infirmary, pale in the moonlight; his lightening-shaped scar bleeding dark red.

Albus senses my approach. “Severus, how are…?” he falters.

I gaze into his cold, opaque eyes. I want to cry out… to make him taste Lupin’s spattered blood and witness my lover’s silent stoic stare as I bludgeoned him in service to the Dark Lord.

“Fine, Headmaster,” I reply instead.

“Severus,” he utters uneasily. “I didn’t mean…”

I walk away, unwilling to hear his false platitudes. He will never understand.

Only the screaming boy and I know the pain.

Oh, so short, but it seems that there is such a long story behind it all. I can really feel the love these two boys have for each other. So much love but also so much pain. Very beautiful and tragic.
It's actually the title that caught my attention, I like the sound of it, sad but beautiful.
That's just a wonderful piece of work. ^_^

Thank you! I'm thinking of writing a long story using the drabble as a jumping off point -- but it would be incredibly sad. I have the continuation all in my head; now I just have actually write it.

And Ce Nedra as your LJ user name. Way cool. I actually am a big fan of the Belgariad.

Oh yes, do write it, you can be sure I'll read it if you do. ^_^ Snape/Remus is my favourite pairing, and I really like the way you write. And I just LOVE sad stories.

You like the Belgariad? yay! I'm always happy to meet David Eddings fans, most people I know don't know who the hell the man is, lol.
Ce'Nedra is such a pain in the butt, but I really like her. ^_^

Thank you. The problem is that the story I have in mind actually takes place after the drabble -- and it eventually becomes a Snape/Harry story. I think I'm going to have to write it though... it's been burning in my head for months now... I just have to sort it and actually write it (easier said than done).

I agree with you about Snape/Remus. That's one of my absolute favorite pairings. I'm sure I'll touch on their relationship in the story I'm planning, and then maybe I can write their story after that.

And I absolutely love David Eddings. It's a shame he's not more popular... I love his characters. They're so much fun. And Ce Nedra is a bit of a bitch... but she always does the right thing in the end.

Thanks again for you comments.
