God yes. With the lighting and everything in the photo, your drabble is absolutely fucking perfect. Gives me chills every time.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ooops! I was off work for MLK Day yesterday, which made me think today is Monday, so (as per usual) I'm late with the new drabble topic. D'oh.
Challenge #140 (pictures from the Look At Me website) is now closed.
Challenge #141 is overqualified.

Always Anti-fascist!
For the overqualified challenge:
A voice over your head, not pleasant, which is new(Even your enemies usually pretend they like you; you’ve spent years learning the difference,) says “Yeah, but can you type?”)
You refrain from pointing out that the thing he holds, is, in fact, typed by your grubby hands, figuring “Well, duh,” is not very professional. But he wants to know if you Type, great marathons of words almost without conscious thought, enough so that people might watch you work for other reasons than to see what a talking dog knows about the AP stylebook. You don’t. Type. But you figure you could still make up for it, with your accuracy score off the charts and all, considering you’re not likely to sneak back into a work all liquored up or anything and you can compensate like nobody’s business.
Isn’t that what life is? Doing stuff, anyway...
But you can shove your insight unless you can trade it for another 40 wpm.
Life in the real world’s tough.
