Prompt:  Just do it

Word count:  100

It wore gloves, like a surgeon.  Sometimes, it used a surgeon's tools.  Sometimes, other things.  Its skeletal smile grew wider, the louder it made him scream. "Just do it," he begged, again and again, until he lost the words.

He'd gone half-blind.  Still, he could see the miracle before him -- an angel, come to offer him peace.  Black wings unfurling, and a golden halo, like a crown, upon his head.

And the angel wept for him, and touched his beating heart, and spoke unto him, saying, "Xander."  And the angel held him in gentle arms, and carried him safely home.

I think the boys and I are going through a phase. A dark phase. A phase I should try to get out of, given the conspicuous absence of comments here. Poor lonely drabble.

Sorry for hurting your heart! But...it's got a happy ending if you squint, right?

Dark phases aren't bad, necessarily, but I admit to being glad that this had a (relatively) happy ending. It doesn't do much for comments, though, that's true. Oh, well. I think you're doing great with these prompts FWIW.
