Pairing or Characters Involved: Detective Leon Orcot with mention of Count D
Notes: This was written for the LiveJournal community, impulsedriven. Challenge #77 (actually, it’s a picture not a word…)
Leon’s days ran one into the other, case after depressing case. Murder, suicides, hit-and-runs... the list was endless. He couldn’t get them out of his mind. The scenes lingered, tormented his dreams. And with each passing day the circles under his eyes grew darker.
Only at D’s Petshop did he find peace. Only in the incense laden room where he and D talked, argued, and drank tea did his mind finally switch off. During those precious moments, he avoided thinking of the unthinkable things humans did to each other.
Without such a reprieve, he was sure he would go mad.
THE END
