Oooh. I should do this one, later. When I'm not at work.
Are there pre-chosen quotes, or can we pick any one?
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Deb, great drabble.

You are the Pembleton of drabbleness.I just sit here and wonder how you do it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Gronk.
In again momentrily - I've discovered drabbles and flash fiction are damned near the perfect way for me to get down a mood, or a moment in time, with some constraints on the lines around it. Just - fun.
Out into the night I goooooooo...

OK, now I know the actual "how(which, cool, go you!) But I was just playing Tim's part and annoying you with my rhetorical questions.Because, you know, I have this need to *understand*...to stick my face in Creativity's water dish and take a big gulp, right, Deb?(I hope I don't really sound like that.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hey, I'm not going to post it here, don't worry.
You'd better.

erika, I never used to think of myself as a miniaturist, but a writer buddy turned me on to flash fiction (500 words or less) and I just feel in love with it.
I really do love the drabble form. I love the constraint it imposes.

Second drabble. The quote's from S2/Episode 15. Phases, Oz werewolfing.

Blame
In the living room of the comfortable house on Revello Drive, the girl stands rigid.
The cushions on the sofa are still imprinted with the shape of her mother's thigh, her skull, a ghostly memory of her fingers. Buffy wonders if she'll ever be able to sit there again.
The mortuary people have taken Joyce away.
Buffy stands in a patch of warmth, shivering and desolate. Suppose I'd been here, she wonders, suppose I hadn't been out, suppose....
Giles knows her better than anyone else. Shaken, grieving, he touches her and tells her, you can't blame yourself for every death.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Really lovely drabbles this time, Deb, as usual. I very much like this theme though. It's nice and you've done nice things with it.
