Fanfiction Drabble: Battle Royale
Mitsuko slammed her laptop shut and resisted the urge to fling it across the room. She wouldn’t be going back online tonight — if that argument escalated any further, she’d lose it completely.
“Dammit,” she whispered to herself. She rose to her feet and paced around her room, trying to calm herself down. She could feel her heart racing furiously, and her hands were shaking. She blinked quickly in an attempt to clear her vision, which was slightly tinted with red.
When her pacing took her to the far side of the room for about the ninth time, Mitsuko impulsively kicked the wall, putting all her strength behind her foot. This, of course, was a terrible idea, and she had to press and hand over her mouth to partially stifle a cry of pain. Still, it sounded rather loud to her own ears, so she reached over and clumsily locked the door in case Setsuko came to investigate.
She hopped back across the room and sat down on her bed, clutching her foot tightly as she listened to her breath hiss through her teeth. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back, letting herself be momentarily overwhelmed by pain and frustration.
She’d deal with everything in the morning. For now, Mitsuko focused on trying to calm down from the angriest she’d felt in a long, long time.
