Charloft 100 drabbles 91-95
28. Insignificant
Back at UNIT, everything was normal. Well, as normal as it ever got. It was normal in comparison to travelling through space and time in a police box that was bigger on the inside than outside. That didn't mean Harry regretted his decision to leave the Doctor and Sarah to make their own way back from Scotland, far from it. He was enjoying having a normal life that didn't involve trips to the far future or other planets. Instead, all he had to deal with were injuries resulting from alien invasions. Which was all in a day's work at UNIT.
38. Sticky
"I say, old girl, we seem to have become entwined." Harry's attempt at getting them apart only resulted in them becoming more stuck together.
Sarah sighed. "Stop wriggling and let me have a go."
He did as he was told, but her efforts didn't make any more progress.
"What did you do?"
"It was a bit gluey," he admitted, "but not..." He subsided at her look.
"Doctor!" she shouted.
Harry tried hard not to be embarrassed at being stuck to Sarah, but she made it very difficult. He wished they were back-to-back, then he wouldn't have to endure her glares.
26. Heat
It was one thing to describe a woman as a dragon (not that Harry ever would, of course), but another entirely to come face to face with a woman who was a dragon.
Harry merely blinked at her, unafraid. He'd seen worse things than her during his time with UNIT. And although she looked scary, she didn't seem all that threatening, really.
That was until she grinned. Just as Harry was trying to decide between fight and flight, she opened her mouth and breathed fire. As smoke rose from his blazer, Harry ran. He was no match for a dragon-lady.
93. Author's choice - with the Brigadier and Benton
"I don't know how you do it." The Brigadier sat down. "It's just as well the two of you are in UNIT, the rate at which you attract aliens."
Harry and Benton wisely said nothing.
"Oh, dismissed." The Brigadier sighed. "And try not to get into any more trouble."
Harry didn't relax until they were outside the Brigadier's office.
"I think," Benton said, "we need to find a different pub."
Harry nodded. "Maybe it's best that we leave the Red Lion to be an alien pub. I'm sure the Crown would be just the place for UNIT to drink in."
96. Author's choice - one of the Wolfsbane endings
As a child Harry looked up at the moon and was amazed as it changed in size. He'd seen the man in the moon, stopped believing it was made of cheese and used it to see by. But never before had he felt the moon.
It began as a tingling in his limbs. As the moon rose it spread through his whole body. It reached his brain last and when it did he was no longer Harry Sullivan the man, he became Harry Sullivan the wolf. He could no longer control his actions and his hunger led him to kill.
