Sick!Wilson Camp - Three Sentence Story Challenge

[menolly-au.livejournal.com]

Good morning/afternoon/evening fellow campers. I have a new challenge for you. We did this last year and it was a lot of fun so I thought I'd 'recycle' the idea for this year.

This is called the Three Sentence Story Challenge.

Please comment to this post with a prompt for a Sick!Wilson story. Your fellow campers can then answer the prompts with a three sentence story. Multiple answers to each prompt are fine so don't worry if someone gets in before you - it's always interesting to get different takes on the same prompt! Comments on each other stories are also allowed (and encouraged!)

The prompts can be anything with a Sick!Wilson angle. Anyone is welcome to prompt, - you don't have to write a story to prompt. It would be great to see some prompts from some of you lurkers out there! (and you'd get a very stylish camper badge :)  Prompts and stories must include some element of sick!Wilson. Stories should be three sentences long, there is no limit on the length of the sentences :)

Please leave your three sentence story as a reply comment to the prompt.

I'll leave a couple of prompts to start us off.

“Tell me how this happened again?” House asked, barely containing his giggles.

“Stop laughing; I’m in pain,” I complained, “And I’ve told you like five times: I wrenched my back trying to do this special move in a song I’d never played before.” House nearly fell off the sofa from laughing so hard.

LOL. That's hilarious!

What Wilson did after speaking to House on the phone in "Broken."

[The semi-colon is a wonderful cheating device.]


He stood there, holding the phone against his chest and trying to pretend he hadn’t just done it again. The last time he’d hung up on someone who needed him, things hadn’t turned out so well; but he told himself this time would be different. A moment later, he dropped the phone on the couch and shuffled to the bathroom, because he had his own pills to take.

Ooh, I love the parallel between House's condition and Wilson's, here. Brilliant!

I love this so much. Thank you for writing it! I love the comparison of House to Danny, and of the connection between House's pills and the one Wilson takes (presumably?) for depression.

[knitty-woman.livejournal.com]

I agree. Very nice parallels with David's situation.

Good old semi-colons :)

Love the comparison to Danny, I wonder how much that drives Wilson - that he can't abandon someone in need again.

What Wilson did after speaking to House on the phone in "Broken."


He held on to the phone for a long time after ending the call, staring into space, his grip on the handset gradually getting tighter and tighter, squeezing until his fingers went numb. He'd thought he'd known what a void there was in his life with House away, but it seemed he hadn't: and now he couldn't be sure that House was getting better, was even trying to get better --and what if he couldn't?

He held on to the phone for a long time after ending the call, staring into space, the fear and worry inside him gradually growing stronger and stronger, squeezing until his heart went numb.

*sniffles* This was just lovely.

I like the way you describe Wilson's grasping of the phone handset, his fingers going numb. I had a physical sense of empathy while reading it. I also like the way you paralell the squeezing of his fingers with the squeezing of his heart, the overwhelming worry inside. I also love how you describe Wilson's thoughts over whether or not House will be able to get better. I could totally see this happening in that scene inbetween. Very IC, believable, and cathartic. (And so amazing to capture such intense emotion in a mere three sentences.)

"...squeezing until his heart went numb..."

:(

Amazing what can be done with three sentences.

This is lovely. I can feel Wilson's despair at the thought that House isn't even trying to get better. Great stuff!
