Ch 3 - A Tin Man’s Lie
By Lattelady

He watched her sleep curled beneath his duster. Despite exhaustion from walking long hours, she’d slept restlessly until he’d snuck over and covered her with his coat.

When the first sun rose, he moved with stealth, taking the garment back. As he shrugged into it, he couldn’t ignore the way his rusted old heart hurt when she shivered in the cool dawn breeze.

It was the third night in a row he’d sacrificed his warmth for hers. To ignore the thump in his chest, he told himself it was a kindness he owned her for saving him from the suit.

Naw, not whupped, just learning how to feel again.

If you like these, I've got all but the last two on my journal. All of the drabbles are 100 words long, but some of the chapters have more than one drabble.
