WK Drabble - Hit Send

[noah_vail]

Title: Hit Send
Challenge: Paperwork
Word Count: 100
Team: Weiss
Character: Omi

No forms in triplicate, nothing written, just the soft tap-tap-tap of his computer-keyboard. Type and hit Send; easy, uncomplicated. Neat and tidy, nothing that included the blood and pain. Nothing clean and simple about killing living, breathing people; plenty of muss and fuss. The whole thing reduced to a few simple words and phrases. Information acquired…. mission completed…subject terminated. Nothing to indicate the hours of lying in wait, the gut wrenching fear that one of his teammates would be injured or killed, nothing to show but a few words sent across the void to end up in someone’s In-Box.

Very good! Not a correction but "Nothing clean and simple about killing living, breathing people" would that read better as "clean OR simple"? Just a thought! I like the contrast you've fitted in there between the words and the actions. I haven't seen much Omi-centric writing - it makes a nice change.

Thanks, I like clean OR simple better myself. I love Omi and who else gets stuck with the paperwork but poor Omi!
