  And oh, another really angsty one. This one is about Artemis Fowl Jr. About rejection.
From his father, some girl, his peers, whatever.

***

Blizzard

He stared at his hand, it was bleeding. How odd.
The ice pelted his face, cold and sharp. The crystals gathered on his upturned palm, the red stained the clear blue shards.
It didn’t hurt. How odd. The cold numbed the cut considerably. Though, in the back of his mind he knew that when he warmed up it would flow with dangerous strength.
But it wasn’t what he was really concerned about. He was savouring the burning feeling that turned his lips blue and froze his eyelashes, making them stick together. He couldn’t summon the energy to open them. He just lay in his self-imposed darkness.
This was a first, actually. He had never been this cold. He had never been so frozen that he felt hot. The water in the skin of his thighs and cheeks froze and expanded. He clenched and opened his hands, the skin on them protested. Strange.
The wet soaked into his clothing, and froze again when he didn’t move. The heat seeped from his body, seeking a better companion that would hold onto it longer. He reached for it, halfheartedly, but didn’t ask it to come back.
He didn’t even want it back.

    FCD* I love the symbolism! I love authors that have the ability to make symbolism like that, it’s awesome!

    It’s very interesting… It’s a little early to for me to say if I like it or not. But it’s good, I’ll say that. Well, write some more!

    I like it! can’t say that I would rate it five but If you added some more I think it could have a lot of potential.

    I don’t get it… also, Holly seems very dark(and therefore OOC)…is this about her paranoia with the mud men finding them?

    no I think it’s about how she can’t get above ground and breath fresh air and how everyone underground thinks there all that and a bag of potato chips and If they could see really how tiny they were it would lower there egos.

    It’s about Holly’s view on society.
    Mudmen society is always changing (or being destroyed by “storms”), they try too hard for stability.
    While her society actually succeeds in achieving stability. Which means that it can never change.
    Which means that it can never join with Artemis’ (which was really implied, and would take a lot of reading between the lines).
    So it won’t let her out at all.

    If anybody could understand that props. :D Drabbles are meant to be cryptic, or somewhat that way.

    It is the darker side of Holly, the part that resents the wrongs that the fairy race has done her. It’s digging a bit deep into her character.

    A drabble is a 100 word piece, basically a drabble of thought. You just let the thought… drabble out. XD
    The first one is a 200-word-drabble, basically a doubledrabble.

    Thanks for the reviews.
    And Jelly- you don’t have a peanut sized brain, you just don’t think like I do. It’s probably a good think. ;)

    A bit late, but I was searching for your stories, so I read this. I specially liked the last drabble, but the others were really good too. You know by now how I think about your work, I guess ;)
