psohdrabble. Challenge #200 – ‘Picture Prompt’ The photograph I chose was taken for the Chinese New Year. And whenever I think of Chinese New Year, I think of the Dragon Dances, which are beautiful and far more exotic than anything you’ll find in my Midwestern hometown. This drabble, a ‘double drabble’ is two hundred words in length in honor of the community’s 200th prompt.
As a child Leon enjoyed watching the Chinese New Year celebrations held in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. The parades and vibrant colors, exotic music and dancing, unlike anything in his everyday life, fascinated him.
He liked the Dragon Dance most. He loved watching the dancers bring their mythical beast to life with sinuous, undulating movements. All beauty and grace, it captured everything he believed Chinatown to represent.
Now, as an adult, Leon knew that under the beauty of Chinatown lay a heart of violence. Like the man standing beside him now, elegant, mysterious… deadly. But the fascination remained nonetheless.
A tug at his sleeve interrupted his thoughts and, glancing down, he smiled at his brother. “Hey, let me help you, kiddo.”
Hoisting Chris onto his shoulders so he could see above the milling crowd, Leon felt the familiar thrill as the dancers rounded the corner, heading their way.
“Magnificent, aren’t they?” D murmured.
“Yeah,” Leon agreed, feeling the heat of D’s body as he pressed against him.
“Magical,” D entwined his fingers around Leon’s, his sharp nails lightly scratching his skin.
Heart racing, Leon returned his attention to the Dragon, whose graceful beauty, like D’s, walked hand in hand with danger.
THE END
