Title: Already Broken
Fandom: Lethal Weapon (tv)
Characters: Martin Riggs
Rating: Teen
Warnings: depression, grief, alcohol
Length: 100 words
Summary: Just a depressing little drabble



Everyone treated Riggs as if he was just half a step away from a nervous breakdown. The truth was, he had already broken.

Grief felt like a heavy weight pressing in on him from all sides and at all times. It left him feeling empty and spent. Dragging himself through the day took so much effort. The only thing that lightened the load, just a little bit, was booze. Booze was good.

Sometimes it felt as if there was nothing left of the man he used to be. Most of the time he didn't even care. Nothing mattered anymore, anyway.

I really feel for Riggs, so broken and struggling to function from day to day.

Very effective drabble.
