Primeval drabble: In Hell

Title: In Hell
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: James Lester, Abby Maitland
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 223: Caffeine. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and more of James suffering in the past ;). Thanks go to Fred for looking at this for me. Cheers m'dear.

James woke feeling like he was in hell. His head throbbed, nausea roiled in his gut and he felt bloody awful. Just what he needed, a case of flu while stuck in the bloody past.

Abby rested her hand on his forehead. “How do you feel?”

“Fucking terrible.” James winced, he hadn't meant to snap at Abby. It wasn't her fault.

“You're a coffee addict?” Abby grinned before catching James' scowl. “Sorry.”

Abby taking the piss was all he needed to add to his woes. It didn't help when she added, “It took Connor a week to get over it.”

Yep, that would be hell! And I've had exactly the same thought about Connor before! *eg*

Poor James is not enjoying his trip to the past ;) Connor would be a nightmare *g* (although James probably will be too). Thanks for reading.

Caffeine withdrawal is no fun at all. I can't imagine James finding it easy.

I don't imagine it is, and James won't (for one thing, he'd see it as a sign of weakness). Thanks for reading.

Lester is certainly one I would envision suffering withdrawl when faced with a lack of caffeine. Nice drabble.

Poor Lester (and poor Abby *g*). That's a great use of the prompt within your series.

Hee! Poor Lester.

Thanks, I'm being mean to him again.

Oh I can just imagine. I've never been a coffee drinker but if I don't get my vanilla coke from sonic every morning I'm a bear!!!

Poor Lester (and poor you without your vanilla coke). Thanks for reading.

Poor Lester ;) Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

LOL - you're really being extremely mean to Lester!!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2011-08-16 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I am? Are you sure? I've only widowed him, stranded him in the past and deprived him of caffeine ;) Hmm, OK, I've been mean to him. Thanks for reading.

Am I glad that I'm only computer and internet addicted. At least I won't get a headache should I get deprived of it. ;)

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
True ;) Although being deprived of the 'net can be just as frustrating. Thanks for reading.
