And Deb, I'm really glad you liked the article--makes me feel like I must've managed to capture the atmosphere of the place, and that was my main goal, beyond all the practical "here's what to see" stuff.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Monday? New topic?

What is this "lunch" thing of which I have heard you speak?
Oh - right. The meal I keep forgetting to eat, along with breakfast...

Okay. Have lunched.
Challenge #47 (yellow) is now closed.
Challenge #48 is: container(s)/holding (or some variation on "hold").
Go to it!

Because books.
It's only a silly question if you don't ask, right?
Are "container" and a form of "hold" both supposed to be in the drabble, or does the slash mean either or?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
does the slash mean either or?
The slash means that the container(s) and the holding are having non-canon relations.

OTP, baby!
Nah, it was just meant to indicate a general sense of "the topic can be about holding, or the [thing] that holds, where [thing] = 'container,' but not necessarily a literal Tupperware container."
If that makes sense.

This speaks for itself.

The helicopter lands on the roof of San Francisco General. General is the only local hospital with a copter pad. It's also one of the few hospitals around here that are doing this kind of operation right now.
The surgeons don't take delivery themselves; they've requisitioned an OR and they're scrubbing up. An orderly runs upstairs, shying away from the wind kicked up by the chopper's blades. Upstairs, a slender man with brown eyes waits.
The orderly signs his name, and takes receipt of a small, innocuous lunch cooler. Contents: one kidney, the one thing Pandora didn't count on.
