Always Anti-fascist!
Aw, shucks. Cause I just finished an episode of The Wire, which I love deeply for something that tells me I can't write for shit every week. "Hey, rookie. Gimme quarter."

Again. Devoured the thread in a week. I beg to differ, and I have proof.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
In preparation for the next drabble topic, give me a word, any word...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can't see them change. Sometimes you can't see them at all, and wonder where their flexing and releasing went, how it can hide itself so deeply.
But the dress you bought three weeks ago, in a large because medium wouldn't come off past your shoulders without you calling in a friend for help, sticks on your shoulders as you try to get it off. A pull, a twist, and you're saved embarassment.
Extra large? Really?
You look in the mirror again. They look like shoulders. Yours. Nothing more, nothing special.
What a strange lie for a reflection to tell.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
But it's a *pretty* word!
You dropped the "u'". It's supposed to be cousine. All about girly cousins in the banlieus of Paris. Kind of like the old Patty Duke Show, but with a cherchez la femmes feel.
Perkins, do song titles. Pick a song title, your choice, and write a drabble around it.
Alternately, cake.
Or footsteps/footprints.
Or nerves.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Daisy, I like yours a lot. I can't wait to see what you settle on as your final version.
