Martin Crieff | Cabin Pressure | angry on the beach

[personal profile] finefinefinefinefine 2014-03-07 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Martin's hand is still swollen from where the bee stung him. It's a constant reminder of the loss of his dad's ring, which he's almost certainly never getting back now. Now that it's in, from the sound of it, another dimension entirely. And inside a goose.

So he sits on the beach: a shortish, youngish man in a damp, soiled pilot's uniform, staring with an expression of distant but clear irateness out over the water -- his face is fairly beet-red from the anger and, he'd be slightly ashamed to admit, some earlier tears, but the colour gets washed out by the tinted lights coming off of the water.

A dead, stuffed sheep is his only companion, and he's holding onto it with both arms. Couldn't wait to put down the bloody thing two hours ago. Now he's probably never going to let go of it.
