Drabble: The Escape Project

A drabble I wrote in a LiveJournal post, that I'm intending to turn into some sort of short fiction.

I peered out from my hiding place, straining my eyes to see in the darkness. I tried my IR and night vision. Both damaged. At least the lenses were still intact.
The building hadn't been hit directly, that much was obvious. These old buildings were essentially an armoured shell, but the renovated interior hadn't been built with strength in mind. The shock-waves were enough to bring everything down on me.
It sounded like the bombing run had ended, clearing the way for the infantry. All IR-equipped, to flush out survivors like me. There was no hiding. I had to move.

[this is good]

I really like it. Will you be continuing it any time soon?

If you've only read the drabble, I've got a fair bit more up at

http://ccgi.donstreet.plus.com/escape/

All of that was written while I was still an unemployed layabout, though ;) I'm not getting as much written now that I've got a job, unfortunately.

Well... I would read it, but the link isn't working, Chris. :] I do hope that's the correct spelling for your name (it's the most common).

Well that's very odd. I can see it fine. Oh well. The following link should work, in any case. It's newest first, so the reading order is Drabble -> Broken Glass -> Stag Hunt -> Back To The Farm.

Yep, that's the right spelling :) Short for Christopher, which I find too long and cumbersome ;)
