Primeval drabble: The Storm Breaks

Title: The Storm Breaks
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: James Lester, Dave the Future Predator, (OWC)
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N 1: For the P100 challenge 288: Fireworks. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and sequel to Waiting For The Storm. Sorry ;) How could I resist doing this?
A/N 2: Thanks go to Fred for the beta, cheers m'dear.


The pending silence was split by a tremendous explosion that had the neutered future predator reeling from the shock wave with a pained shriek cry before it took off at speed.

James stared, wide-eyed, as the sky was filled with streaks of fire that screamed through the air like malfunctioning rockets. He swallowed as the sky turned red and predator and prey ran helter-skelter past him, struck by some nameless panic.

He wished he knew what era he was in as he watched fireballs rain down into the now-steaming jungle and tongues of flame sprang skyward far too close for comfort.

WHOA!! The extinction event? Haul ass, James, like now!

Um, James, I think you should run. Like now!

This gets more exciting with every drabble

Fabulous drabble!

Time for a swift exit, I think!

OOOO! Great!

Eek! Very apocalyptic.
Stay safe, Lester.

Very tense indeed!

Yikes, didn't see that one coming!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-12 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee. Um, possibly. *nods* Good advice that I'm sure James will do his best to follow.

Thanks for reading.

*nods* Good advice and I'm sure James will do his best to run away.

Thanks for reading.

I don't think James would agree with you ;)

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

*blushes* Thanks, glad you liked it.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-12 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* Definitely and hopefully the next prompt will help James to do so *paws crossed*

Thanks for reading and for the beta.

Sorry. Hmm, it is, isn't it ;)

James hopes to and is hoping the next prompt is helpful to him.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-12 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Good to know it worked and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-12 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry. I did think about this after the last drabble as an option, and then couldn't resist when the prompt came up. *poor James and cub and Abby*

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] adafrog.livejournal.com 2012-11-13 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Uh oh.

[identity profile] judithjohn.livejournal.com 2012-11-13 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
So vivid!!

[identity profile] kristen-mara.livejournal.com 2012-11-13 08:29 am (UTC)(link)

Well, that DID get rid of the FP...though they could get run over by something else as it tries to escape.

I hope the cub sticks close to James and doesn't panic. Trust you to top a future predator with an exploding volcano/comet, whatever!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-13 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that is roughtly what is going through James' mind ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-13 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* The good news is that the FP is no longer a problem, but James is looking a little concerned at the thought of being trampled on top of everything else.

I'm sure the cub will stay close to James and trust in his daddy.

Hee, it had to happen ;)

Thanks for reading.

Oh no! And he's hurt so I suppose he's stuck there... unless next week's prompt is something helpful! :)

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-13 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry. *nods* James certainly isn't 100% fit so he's hoping the next prompt is very helpful ;)

Thanks for reading.

Whoa! That solves the predator problem, but that doesn't seem a terribly good place for James to be at the moment!

[identity profile] dreamer-98.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yikes! He's safe from the predator for now, but what's happening may be worse. Nicely done.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* The positive side of the situation is that Dave is no longer a problem... the negative side is possibly a lot worse than having Dave there ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry ;) *nods* The predator isn't top of James' list of things to worry about anymore.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] lsellersfic.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Eep! Literally from the frying pan into the fire!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* As if the predator wasn't bad enough ;)

Thanks for reading.

Oh, eek!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-21 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, but it had to happen considering the previous drabble ;)

James agrees with the eek!

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com 2012-11-26 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Eeeeeeeek! Run away!!!!! Where's Abby? They need to get out of there asap.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-11-26 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL. Sorry ;) James would run except that he's a little bit hurt right now. Um, I'm sure Abby is around somewhere *nods* That they do.

Thanks for reading.
