Birthday II
by JoleneB


Yeah. Not dying here.

No Jaffa blast. No Goa'uld hand device burn. No native spear from an off-world Cro-Magnon. Not even a trinium arrow. For crying out loud!

Great! Here she comes again. And... there she goes?

No pills. No light in the eyes. No pillow plumping. No questions I haven't answered at least a dozen times today already?

Curiosity got the best of me. A peek wouldn't hurt. My eyelids popped up like out of control window shades.

'Happy birthday, Colonel,' said with a cupcake and candle. Sweet!
