'This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.' Oscar Wilde

My first drabble and I managed exactly 100 words. Haven't written any TPM for ages - I'd forgotten how much I missed it.

Suspense

Obi-Wan adjusted his grip on his lightsabre. It was not yet activated but he held it ready to fight. He knew they were out there; he knew they were coming. At least, he thought he knew. They had been waiting for so long now he was beginning to wonder. He had wanted to go and check but Qui-Gon had not let him, merely assuring him they were coming and Obi-Wan should be patient. It was not knowing that was the worst.

And then they came and Obi-Wan was fighting and he was tired and he wished he was waiting instead.

*loves* ^_^ So very realistic, too, I'm sure everyone can remember a time like that- waiting for an exam, or something. And of course I'm thrilled that someone besides me used an Oscar Wilde quote. *beams*

I do like Oscar Wilde's quotes - often funny and mostly true as well.
