A drabble of 100 words
By December21st
Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: None.
Warnings: Dark. Implied violence or worse.
Summary: Something happened. Something bad.
A/N: This is my 150th drabble, written for assorted fandoms. Nominated for the
Castle Fanfiction Awards.
Castle doesn’t write any more.
He’ll sit down in front of a typewriter, wondering why he stopped. He should write another Nikki Heat book; he’s only written, what, three or four? But thinking about Nikki Heat (about Beckett) makes him profoundly uncomfortable and he walks away, the paper blank.
Alexis comes to visit often. She makes sure the doctors and staff are treating him well; he asks about college and friends. He wants to ask about Beckett, but that thought is splattered with blood and the sound of screaming. He doesn’t remember if the screams are Beckett’s or his own.
