monaboyd drabble. yup.

for [livejournal.com profile] 15minuteficlets. in medias res, monaboyd.

the thing billy likes best about dom is that he's unfinished. everything about his face, taken individually, is a little off, like the sculptor suffered a fatal heart attack mid-creation and never had the chance to nudge details properly into place.

the thing dom likes best about billy is that he leaves things unfinished. he drifts off mid-sentence, unable to settle on one direction for his thoughts.

the thing they like best about each other is how the unfinished bits fit together. how billy leaves off mid-reflection, traces dom's jaw with his fingertips and feels dom's smile, answer and conclusion.

you should join that community. it's true improv - not like contrelamontre where you can plan something all week & then write it in the timespan.

Love it love it love it. It's so fitting, and feels well rounded....not cut off like a lot of short pieces tend to be. Great job!
