[fic] Patience
14 February 2010 23:25Title: Patience
Author: Wyntir_Knight
Rating: G
Series: G1
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Bluestreak
Summary: Bluestreak waits for the perfect shot.
Warnings: None
Author's Note: I'm trying my hands at writing drabbles. I've come to the conclusion, that while long fics are fantastic, drabbles are far harder to write. After all, you're trying to get a whole concept down to as few words as possible.
Technically, this isn't a true drabble. I believe it comes in as about 150 words, rather than the required 100, but I think I presented the scene well.
Any comments would be appreciated.

I lie on my belly, looking out over the battlefield below me. I'm surrounded by the filth and debris of this burned out apartment but I take no notice of it. For me, all there is is this moment. My fuelpump and intakes work in a slow and steady rhythm; I am calm, at one with my rifle. I will offline a Decepticon today.
I am silence. No chatter, no busywork. The other Autobots seem amazed that I'm a sniper, but here I don't need to hold the past back with constant noise. Here I don't need to worry that the shadows are going to remind me of an old horror. Here I can focus on now. There is no past. There is no future. There is only now. And me. And my gun. And Devastator turning to look at my nest. I will offline a Decepticon today. .... Just maybe not this one ....
