Only just got this in under the wire at [livejournal.com profile] tww100. Don't know why I found it so hard.


Screaming Whispers
by Katrina McDonnell

Challenge Three for tww100 Live Journal community: whispers.
Whatever the whispers mean (and the context) are, of course,
up to you. Just must feature mention of whispering.
Disclaimer: Wish they were, but they aren't.
Author's Note: Set at end of "The Women of Qumar", touch of
CJ/Toby.

***

She exits the pressroom and strides towards her office.

Her colleagues recognise her raised hackles and steer clear.

Even him.

He knows her too well sometimes. Part of her resents his
familiarity.

She kicks the door closed and pulls the blinds, before dumping
the briefing notes in the trash can.

She went out and did what they pay her to do. Spin their crap,
cover up the blood stains.

But she won't let this job stop her screaming and she'll continue
for as long as she has to. Needs to.

Because it's the only way their whispers can be heard.
