due South Drabble 'Fresh Air' G
Juts watched s4 episode 'The Ladies Man'. Such a powerful episode. Immediately dashed off this drabble.
Fresh Air
He sits in his car, Fraser’s arm heavy across his shoulders, but it’s shame that bows his head as he cries, harsh, ugly sounds torn from him.
Years later, he and Fraser will come across a rotting caribou, fresh enough to stink, alive with maggots feasting joyously. He’ll wrinkle his nose, turn his head and swallow nausea, then remember the sickness he felt when he heard cops celebrating Beth’s coming death, the sour taste of betrayal when the truth emerged.
He’ll remember what true corruption smells like and he’ll turn back to the caribou and breathe deeply.
Breathe fresh air.
