Yay! Back in the land of the living...

...or at least the land of those who can eat soup and keep it down! Back at work today, can anybody say 'frustrating'? Our phones, e-mail and net browsers went down and the network was wobbly to say the least. I warned against voiceover IP when it was installed but did anyone listen to me? Noooooooooo and now they are reaping the benefits of their foolishness.Anyway...here to post a little drabble I did for Po's challenge but I stuck it in a reply comment in her lj before she explained that she was going to keep them all secret until after the closing date so I guess I might just have to do another one for her. :)Not quite sure where this one came from. It sails a bit close to, and may even cross the line of what is generally considered 'good taste' - even more so because its major pragtagonist is motivated purely by altristic reasons.Oh well...you read and decide...Disclaimed as ever.No reflection *what-so-ever* on the person whose name I have 'borrowed'.Silence.That’s all there ever was between them.Silence.Even when he kissed his lover’s lips no sound came.Never once did he cry out as they made love.No sounds of ecstasy or pleasure as he penetrated his beautiful body.As he wrapped his arms around him, held him close.As he pulled the covers up, protecting him from the cold.When the dawn came, Lee reluctantly rose, dressed.It wouldn’t do for him to be half naked when his bosses arrived.He sighed wistfully.It would be a real pity when they put this one in the ground.
