Looky -- I did a drabble for this week's word AND fulfilled another challenge, all in one drabble. Yeay for me. And it's 100 words again!

=====

Title: Litany
Prompt: "punctilio"
Spoilers: "Children of the Gods"

I'm won't let it happen.

I'm not going to let them take him.

Please, Skaara, still be at the Gate.

I can save you.

Just let me get there in time.

***

God, you're still here.

I barge down the hill, calling your name and ignoring every punctilio of the Goa'uld's dramatic departure.

You respond to my calls.

I let myself feel a glimmer of hope.

And that hope was taken away so abruptly.

I find myself on the ground, struck down by your hand.

You've been taken.

Taken as a host.

Why you?

God, why him?!

I've lost another child.

Author's Note: "litany" -- a repeating of something, usually in prayer ... "punctilio" -- a nice point of exactness in conduct, ceremony, or proceeding; particularity or exactness in forms; as, the punctilios of a public ceremony.
