Fandom: 28 Days Later
For: 15minuteficlets
Prompt: Moon.


Jim never really looked at the moon. It was something that was just there. Like the Thames. Or heating. Or running water. Electricity...

After the cure, that wasn't a cure but proof that the human race should die out, in the little cottage, Jim learned he really liked looking at the moon.

After nearly dying. After the unspeakable almost happened. After he killed and was responsible for the deaths of several men (or monsters, it depended upon one's point of view). After all that, there was just him, Hanna, Selena, and the moon at nights.

At nights, once the bullet wound healed and he could sit up without pain, though Selena advised him it was unwise, Jim would sit out and watch the moon. He liked the moon more than the sun. It seemed more honest.

The sun pretended the brighten everything up, make the world a better place. The moon? The moon just sat up there and tried to shed a little light. On most nights, she couldn't even do that.

Jim liked those nights the best.
