Five Days Out

Summary:

Written for the Three Sentence Ficathon. Prompt: propreantepenultimate (Or, the one where Izzy decides to live each day like it's his fifth-last.)

Work Text:

Start every job like you're the one who'll have to finish it, but don't bank on another quiet Sunday coming along. Say what needs saying, but hold your tongue until you know how to say it better.

Living each day like it's your last is shit advice—Izzy having had enough would-be ones to know it—but he's doing all right with his crew, counting his numbered days on the fingers of one hand and holding fast with the other.
