Primeval drabble: He Couldn't Stay

Title: He Couldn't Stay
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: James Lester, OWC
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 278: Picture Prompt. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and set after Refusing To Surrender. Thanks go to Fred for looking it over for me, cheers m'dear.


James stumbled to a stop when he realised the jungle had changed to rocks and canyons. He cursed softly, he must really be out of it not to have noticed he'd gone through an anomaly.

He turned and hurried back to the, thankfully still open, anomaly as fast as he could. He wouldn't leave Abby; she'd be waiting for him and he'd never come.

The cub whimpered and hid, and James looked up as he heard the buzz of an aircraft.

James didn't pause as he stepped back into the past. Even if this was his time, he couldn't stay.

Lester is being very noble, lets hope that he manages to find his way back up to Abby without the prompts being too unkind to him :-)

So close, but it's good that he didn't leave Abby behind.

*nods* He was certainly in about the right century ;) but he couldn't leave Abby behind.

Thanks for reading.

Why we adore the guy!

Lester needs a hug, whether he wants one or not.

*nods* Definitely.

Thanks for reading.

"James didn't pause as he stepped back into the past."

We know he'll do everything necessary.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-09-02 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* James would.

Thanks for reading.

Lester to a "t"

Glad you think so and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2012-09-02 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Very noble, but I hope it is wise too.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-09-02 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
James is very noble, and he hopes it is a wise move too, but he couldn't leave Abby all alone in the past.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] kristen-mara.livejournal.com 2012-09-03 03:18 am (UTC)(link)

Eeeek - I hope he's able to find Abby and get them all through the anomaly before it closes!!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-09-03 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
But James couldn't have left Abby behind. That depends on the prompts and muses ;)

Thanks for reading.

James will always do what's needed for those he cares about.
Very evocative.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-09-03 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* He would, no matter what.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] talliw.livejournal.com 2012-09-03 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
What for a wonderful loyal man. Maybe he will manage to return to the anomaly with Abby before it closes.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-09-03 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* James is. That depends on the prompts and the muse, I'm afraid.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com 2012-09-03 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
oh no! But he couldn't leave Abby alone like that, no matter what.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-09-03 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, but he couldn't just abandon Abby in the past.

Thanks for reading.

Lovely. There's no way he'd leave Abby.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-09-04 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you liked it and no, James wasn't about to leave Abby behind.

Thanks for looking it over for me and for reading.

Aw, so close!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-09-22 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
He was certainly in the right century (or close) but James couldn't leave Abby alone and in the past.

Thanks for reading.
