A Drabble fever - share yours.
You need to post us some new Drabbles to keep us occupied.
Here's one of mine to tide you over :-)A Man and his Shed
I like it here in my shed. There are cobwebs in the roof and it’s chilly in winter, but it’s all mine. I can make a brew, read the paper and even have a smoke if I want to. There’s an old comfy chair that I relax in and listen to the sports news on the radio.
I hear horrific screams from outside, people shouting and even loud bangs like gunshots. It sounds like the end of the world has arrived.
I’m safe here in my shed, but I snap the padlock shut on the door just to be sure.
Hope you have a toilet in that shed Michael. ;-)Talking about bruises girls. I think Frenchie may have broken my finger when she twisted it to get me to stop typing. Luckily I can still type with the others. :-)))))
Frenchie wrote: "A good one. Thank you, Michael. Eternally grateful. :-)(that'll keep them occupy for a few minutes)."
.....? did you mean Externally grateful??

Perhaps if there is a toilet in the shed Frenchie should have written:-
(that'll keep them
....but what if his boss remembers that his Granny died last year and the year before??
You are brought into the police station for questioning on Friday because your granny died in suspicious circumstances.
I would. If she doesn't go to work at least one of the days, then Friday won't matter, 'cos she won't have a job there anyway.
Good drabble Michael. Trouble with the good drabbles is, they always leave me wanting more, and that particular one, could be turned into an apocalypse, preferable without the zombies.

You were lucky it was only one finger. I caught her trying to bribe Linzy, with chocolate, to jump on all your fingers in her 6 inch heels. Luckily for you, Linzy is a pacifist, and refused.
No, don't smoke those. You'll never get rid of the smell. I'll behave now, honest (for the rest of today, anyway).
.....I'm not making promises that I know it would be impossible for me to keep!!
Very good Frenchie, and you can actually see something like that happening somewhere.

Blimey - I'm starting my new job on Monday, hope my first week goes a little better than your character's!
Cross-mojonationsThe Drahvins had the Doctor surrounded. He bolted for the door, but Maaga and her adjutant blocked it.
"You can't resist us, Doctor," they purred together.
The Doctor steepled his fingers and regarded the slim blondes gravely. "Eh? Oh no, my child, I think you'll find that you can't, er, resit me."
He shrugged his jacket to the floor in a single fluid motion...

Five minutes later, Steven arrived to find the old man virtually naked in a room full of unconscious women. He was bopping quietly and humming something about being lonely.
"Lucky git," muttered Steven.
This was written towards the end of 1999, when Austin Powers mania was in full swing. This drabble was originally posted on alt.drwho.creative, and features the first Doctor as played by William Hartnell, and Steven Taylor as played by Peter Purves, and probably not take place during the adventure Galaxy Four, in 1965.
Very good, Frenchie. Tres a point.
Great Frenchie. Now you have to tell us about poor Grandpa and his fate. I like how you used Banshee lol
MOLLYS NIGHTMARE?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lights out,tucked up tight,Molly peeped from under the covers.
"Go away,you're not there"!she whispered.
The closet door creaked.Daddy hadn't fixed the lock.
The glowing green eyes were visible through the gap.
Molly trembled and closed her eyes.
Then she felt it brush against her skin.
*Meow"cried Blackcat.
"You naughty puss"said Molly and snuggled up with him.
"It was you hiding in my closet",she giggled before sighing.
As she slept the closet door creaked and glowing green eyes peered through the gap.
"SEE YOU IN YOUR NIGHTMARES MOLLY".
Said the evil green monster

That's me too Suze.I don't want to end at a 100 words.:(
Frenchie wrote: "I am not going to post here anymore if I am (nearly) the only one to do so. :-("Don't be mean. What about the ones of us who want to read your drabbles.
More good ones. I like Mollys Nightmare Linzy, but gonna check my wardrobe before I go to sleep tonight.
Yes Frenchie that really is a bit mean because I like to read your Drabbles and everyone else's too. :-)Linzy, that was a great one. :-)
I keep wanting to write this! I just have been so busy :P but, finally, it is the weekend!!!!The Wind
It was a bitter, cold day. The wind whipped at my face and cut it, as a knife would. My scarf blew in the wind, blocking my view for a moment, until it passed behind me.
I heard an old song, as if played on a radio from the '20s. An older car passed by me. Who would listen to that, I asked myself. Never mind. I just had to get to my destination.
The wind going into my face made me gag for a moment. I couldn't breath, but I realized that I had finally come to journey's end.

another one is coming!
PINCH, PUNCH, FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH & NO RETURNS!!

I never knew you could do that.

Another good one Frenchie, thank you :-))I think she should show him the photos, he might just like them.

It sounds like she found her own abyss, good drabble.

A Trip to the Doctor
I arranged our second date, an intimate dinner in a fine downtown restaurant. I wanted to taste strawberries again. I didn’t know if I could wait two days, but the Imp convinced me to play it cool and not appear too eager, not yet.
He also told me that I had a doctors appointment. When I arrived the nurse told me they needed a sample and handed me a small plastic bottle. I asked her why I had to pee in a bottle and she looked at me confused.
They didn’t want a urine sample, they wanted a semen sample.
I like Life Had Other Plans, and it probably happens more than we realise.
I saw that one on Drablr and gave it a vote.
Joe's doing just fine thanks Frenchie - Finished it in my lunch hour today.
It's a good way to keep writing without putting too much pressure on yourself.

An admirable goal - not easy though :-)
