Primeval drabble: Could Today Get Any Worse?

Title: Could Today Get Any Worse?
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: James Lester
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 254: Pteranodon. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and follows Decisions. It isn't my fault, how could I resist doing this with this prompt? ;)

A/N2: Thanks go to Fred for the beta. Cheers, m'dear.


James swore as he spotted the flying creature Abby's cry had warned him about. Just what he needed when he was clinging to a cliff.

It plunged towards him, talons stretched wide. Digging into his flesh, tearing as it attempted to send him plummeting to the ground.

He heard Abby's yell before several rocks rained down, sending the creature screeching away.

James' shoulder throbbed with every breath he took. His arm now dangling uselessly by his side, he saw no choice now except to risk the jungle. Could today get any worse? A roar from below merely confirmed it could.

Poor Lester! :( Our bebe!

*nods* I'm being rather mean to the poor boy at the moment. Thanks for reading.

I hope the wolf is OK! Sorry, Lester, I want you to be OK too...

Poor man - Murphy's Law is a pain!

Exciting stuff! Love your drabbles!

Terrific tension. Poor James in peril.

Fingers crossed for James and the wolf.

Another accomplished drabble in this series.

Awesome!

Oh no. James. :(

Oh God!!! Poor Lester!!! :(
But you're right, this time the prompt is the guilty one! :)
Nice drabble!

Well, it has made up his mind for him I suppose!

OMG!!! Save him! Arrggh, there's no one to help! *flail*
This is mean. And so exciting. I mean, you wouldn't actually, um, kill him. Right??

[identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com 2012-03-16 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Meep!!!! Poor Lester and wolfie (and Abby)! I did wonder what you were going to do with this prompt for your series...

his day's just getting better and better!

The cub is safe and sound. *Cub wiggles happily and licks your hand, although Lester's not looking too happy coming after the cub in your thoughts ;)*

I'm being mean to him still. Lester is not liking Murphy's Law at all.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-16 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you think so and *blushes*

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-16 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, glad you liked it. James is not liking the peril at all.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-16 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Crosses fingers with you.

*blushes* Glad you are enjoying the series and thanks for reading.

*blushes* Thanks, glad you liked it.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-16 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, James is certainly not enjoying it. Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-16 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, I'm being mean to the poor man.

Hee. What else could I do after leaving him clinging to a cliff? ;)

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-16 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It has, but James would have prefered having a choice in the matter.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-16 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry ;) James wishes it wasn't quite as exciting. Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-16 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry. That depends on the prompts *vbeg and ducks the flail*

Definitely mean *nods* Would I?

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-16 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry ;) *nods* I'm being mean to all of them, especially Lester.

Hee, it had to happen with Lester clinging to a cliff and this prompt ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-16 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It is and James wishes it wasn't.

Thanks for the beta and for reading.

[personal profile] samueljames 2012-03-17 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I've said poor James a lot in response to your drabbles but it most definitely applies here.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-17 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Possible ;) I'm being very mean to James at the moment. Thanks for reading.

Ooh, very good, it's getting quite dramatic now! Poor James! Let's hope for his sake next week's prompt isn't 'T-Rex' or something similar! *g*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-03-18 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, glad you are liking it. I'm being rather mean to James. He's nodding agreement about that not being next week's prompt. Thanks for reading.

Aggh!

Sorry ;) But with James and the cub still clinging to the cliff, what else could I do with the prompt? Thanks for reading.
