Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For P100 prompt 973 – Silent Night. Part of my Smokescreen series (#38). Ask the muse, James went angsty on me for Christmas.
James barely made the Christmas concert in time, having to hurry into the hall and slip through the rows to sit beside Chrissie and their children.
“You’re late.”
“Work,” he replied, tensely, and felt Chrissie take his hand.
He swallowed convulsively when the words, ‘Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright’ washed over him and he felt Chrissie squeeze his hand. “James?”
He found himself praying to a god he no longer believed in that tonight was silent and calm. That an anomaly didn’t open and disgorge some creature long since dead to tear another family apart.
