remember that word 'hiatus'? yeah; ficlet/drabble prompts

[aesc]

I am in a hiatus right now. I should be back where I'm supposed to be, but am not, and it looks like I won't be going anywhere until tomorrow at the soonest. Everything has been packed away and sealed up, waiting to be put in a car (any car!), and I'm stuck with that feeling of being in-between, like waiting in an airport for a flight that has been delayed.

My mind is in a hiatus too, not really wanting to commit to anything it's supposed to be working on, so... small writing prompts? SGA or SPN (no Wincest, it isn't my thing), canon, AU (including any active one--Nantucket, Restoration, wotever), whatever you can think of.

Yes, my brain has suspended all useful thought for the foreseeable future.

How to Play Night Baseball

[dogeared.livejournal.com]

A pasture is best, freshly
mown so that by the time a grounder's
plowed through all that chewed, spit-out
grass to reach you, the ball
will be bruised with green kisses. Start
in the evening. Come
with a bad sunburn and smelling of chlorine,
water still crackling in your ears.
Play until the ball is khaki—
a movable piece of the twilight—
the girls' bare arms in the bleachers are pale,
and heat lightning jumps in the west. Play
until you can only see pop-ups,
and routine grounders get lost in
the sweet grass for extra bases.

Eeeee, how lovely and quiet, and cool like a summer evening, but still with warmth behind it. *meditates!*
