Title: Bootless
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Major Sheppard
Word Count: 100
Summary: Before the Daedalus there was no resupply.
Disclaimer: Not mine, don't own them or get money from them.
Warnings: None
A pair of boots is irreplaceable.
So is a man, but you can't think about that lest you come to care too much--or too little. Too much and you are paralyzed with fear, with loss. Too little and people won't trust you, won't follow where you lead. Once there was another reason to care, but you can't remember what.
Dry-eyed you watch the mortuary assistants strip the body you brought back through the wormhole. Boots. Holster. Tattered shirt, rent by the Wraith's long talons. Even the underwear will be passed along.
Boots, size ten, made in another galaxy. Irreplaceable.
