#vss365 He closed the door behind him, resting his forehead on the wood. He had to go but the #sound of her muffled sobs from inside nearly broke him. His throat closed up as he subconscious warred with itself. He had seen the moment he broke her heart; all because of his own damned fear.

I have a new #flashfiction story out today from @flashfictiononline.bsky.social. It's part of their paranormal noir issue, and my story, "They've Got Your Number" is, IMHO, one of the best flash pieces I've written. Go see if I'm right. ;) ##writingcommunity flashfictiononline.com/issues/octob...

#vss365 "I know you're angry..." Her head snapped round, wild eyes flashing. "Do not tell me to #calm down..." "Elena," he stepped forward, his hands held outstretched. "No," she snapped, her voice wavering. "Do not try and tame my anger because right now, it's the only thing keeping me together."

#vss365 Lamont noticed his hesitation. "What is it?" "Nothing." He still didn't open the door. "It's Doctor Smith,isn't it? You think she'll be angry with you?" "Oh yes, can't you see me #quake in my boots," he growled turning the handle. "Don't tell me you finally care what somebody thinks of you?"

#vss365 He appeared as soon as she climbed off the stage. "How come I've never heard you sing?" She shrugged self-consciously. "You're incredible. I don't know why you'd hide that."

"I thought you hated planes?" "Yeah,"she pouted. "I mean literally be able to fly. Don't look at me like that."

#vss365 Everything went quiet, like the eye of the storm. Her head was empty, silent for once, having been overloaded by the sheer tidal waves of thoughts and fears assaulting her. She stood dazed and confused, waiting for the feeling of helplessness to rise up and wash her away like a #hurricane.

#vss365 "What's with you too? He seems to #harbour just a little resentment." She was still watching the door Thos had just left through. "Oh that?" Lamont laughed. "Thing you need to know about him, is that he doesn't really know how to express feelings. For anyone." He stared at her pointedly

#vss365 She sat up, realising she hadn't blinked in too long. Something had pulled her out of her work. She turned round to see him stood in the doorway, holding a cup. He gave a crooked grin, "Huh, so I can #lure you out with coffee." "I need to work." He cocked his head, "Just five minutes?"

#vss365 "You're making a #mountain out of a molehill." He rubbed his face, waiting for more. But she stayed quiet. He glanced up in surprise, she'd been so worked up and now silence. She was staring down at her hands, barely moving. She even looked like she'd shrunk."Elle." "Forget it,you're right."

#vss365 I walk under a #cloud of my own making. Gloom summoned from my own imagination is just as strong yet somehow more toxic. It lingers, hovering over me no matter where I turn, no matter what anyone says. Ignoring it is not an option, instead I must wait under it, until it rains itself out.

#vss365 He was flustered as he came into the room. "You might get a #reprieve. The council has been called in so they might postpone your presentation." Horror twisted her face. "No, no it has to be tonight. I've been an utter wreck all day trying to psyche myself up, I'll won't be able to again."

#vss365 "You're a telepath?" Elle's face hardened but he was used to that. "Yes, so you might want to #purify those thoughts," he joked, winking. The look she gave him made his blood run cold and then she was gone. "Wow." The Captain drew level with him. "Don't ever go in her head. Ever."

#vss365 "They aren't too happy about us, no," he admitted, lowering his gaze. "They have always frowned on relationships outside of Avalon." "Will said I could #renounce Albion and it might help." She stopped him when he opened his mouth to argue. "All I have is you, I'd be losing nothing."

#vss365 "I envy you," he smiled. "Your work is your #passion." She looked around the lab and he noticed her hesitation. "I'm wrong?" "No, I suppose. It's important," she nodded half-heartedly.
