Primeval drabble: The Day Just Got Worse

Title: The Day Just Got Worse
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: James Lester, Dave, (OWC)
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 284: Future Predator. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and continues from No Need For Advertisement. Thanks go to Fred for the beta, cheers m'dear.


James' heart thumped hard in his chest when the vegetation parted to reveal the grey, hairless head of a future predator. He held his breath as it sniffed the air and clicked loudly as its head moved from side to side before it seemed to zero in on him and his rapidly-beating heart.

James watched mesmerized as drool dripped from teeth that appeared far too sharp for his peace of mind.

Oh fuck! The last time he'd encountered one, he'd only survived with the help of Monty and, unfortunately for him, he didn't have his mammoth with him this time.

Very vivid and very scary.

*crosses fingers for James*

Good to know it worked.

*James says thanks and his own fingers are also firmly crossed that the next prompt is better*

Thanks for reading.

**meep** Come on Lester, you can do it or some plucky writer could bring in a mammoth...poke...

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry ;) Lester certainly hopes he can get out of this situation and he'd be glad of a rescue. *ouch*

Thanks for reading.

Eep, it's Dave! This is too tense for words!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, but it had to be Dave.

Thanks for reading, even if it is too tense ;)

Eeeeek! Dave! Where's Monty when you need him? *g*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, but it had to happen. Um, Monty is back at the ARC, munching apples and wondering where his bff Lester has is ;)

Thanks for reading, even with the eek!

Oh nooooooooo!! Why wasn't the prompt "Here's Abby" ?!
Eeek for Lester and the cub! Next weeks prompt needs to be kinder to them!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Lester agrees 100% about the prompt and he's glaring at LMMAK about it ;)

Both Lester and the cub say eek is the correct response and that they hope next week's prompt rescues them ;)

Thanks for reading.

*nods* That's whats going through James' mind.

Thanks for reading.

Yikes! Scary and intense.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry for the scare, but it had to happen with this prompt.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] joshinator.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Awesomely creepy!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Good to know it worked.

Thanks for reading.

*shivers*

really vivid!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Good to know it caused shivers ;)

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

James watched mesmerized as drool dripped from teeth that appeared far too sharp for his peace of mind.

Oh fuck is the only appropriate reaction

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Something similar is running through James' mind.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] lsellersfic.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Noooo! That is much worse than I had anticipated!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, it is the prompt's fault ;) It was worse than James anticipated.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] kristen-mara.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)

I think I will have to bribe the P100 mods in regard to the next prompt. Let's hope this is Dave, just wanting to be friends!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-14 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
James is all in favour of bribery ;) Hopefully it is Dave just wanting to show off his knitted scarf *nod*

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2012-10-14 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Eek! Monty, where are you!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-14 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry. Monty would help, but he's millions of years away.

Thanks for reading, even with the eek!

[identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com 2012-10-14 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Eeeeeek!

*sidles away looking shifty about the prompt*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-14 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* It had to be Eeek with this prompt.

*eyes LMMAK looking shifty and sidling away* Well you might, James is not happy with you ;)

Thanks for reading although James says not for the prompt

Uh oh!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-10-26 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* That is roughly what is going through James' mind at the moment.

Thanks for reading.
