"Drabble": Survival

Title: Survival

Author: interpretthis

Fandom: Prison Break
Requested by: pellamerethiel
Pairing: Alex/Michael

Rating: PG

Summary: Two men find will in each other.

 

Sona Penitentiary is always buzzing – whether it be night or day.  Its many parasites wandering, hardly aware but clashing constantly, rotting away day by day, night by night.  The spared fall – blade to the gut, plain lethargy to stagnation to oblivion.  Withstanding its reality takes more than most men have.

 

In a shady corner, two men prevail.  Animal instinct from the outside, human survival from in.  They no longer know how long they’ve stayed.  It does not matter – they will not be here much longer.  They pass whispers, kisses, swallow moans - holding back from those who won’t survive.  This is their fight.

FIN

Story was genius, as always, with the dank, depressing, chaotic nature of the prison beautifully executed in a short time, but I gotta admit the part that most delighted me was that you wrote this while your music choice was "do you believe in magic". So perfect!!!

Heheh. Oh the joys of having one's music on shuffle. Yep, yep. It decides to come up with some interesting things when it so chooses. Thank you! :)

Omg, thank you so much for writing this! It's perfect, written in the very way I've imagined it. Thank you!:D
It's so real, brutal and depressing, but still hopeful - because they have each other, because they're their own survival.

They no longer know how long they’ve stayed. It does not matter – they will not be here much longer. They pass whispers, kisses, swallow moans - holding back from those who won’t survive. This is their fight.
Best line, I loved it!

Thanks!:D
