Drabble

Shewolfe is doing a drabble group thing. The group has split up a list of fifty words meant to inspire short fictions. The fiftieth word is a kind of a freebie. I thought that I might try a little participation of my own.


This occurs around the time of Shewolfe's Coffee drabble

The bittersweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted into the Black Sunday rec-room. In spite of the overlay of sugar, milk and way too much whipped cream, it caught Deepstryker's attention. He looked up from the chess board and made a quick tactical decision.

'Stryker tipped his king and started to get up from the table.

"But...You were winning...!?" His opponent, KageNoKami, studied the board in confusion.

"Yeah...well...We need to get out of here. Now. Trust me. We want to have been gone in about thirty seconds."

The Shimmer and the Shadowe left the rec-room to seek out other mischief.

Behind them they could hear the slightly off key duet.

"I feel pretty, oh, so pretty..."
