Great drabbles! Did I miss a prompt, or are these unrelated?
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

not your mom's socks.
nice, Ginger! I like how it starts as a wide perspective and zooms in to end with a tight focus on one person.
Wolf, it's unprompted - jump in!

Indirection
One labcoat was shouting numbers, while another handed various shiny items to a third. Something kept beeping. Shifting white figures huddled over her, on the inside of the pale blue partitions. I strained to see my wife, but could only glimpse tiny swatches of paisley hospital garb. I sat and waited for someone to tell me what to do.
I was handed the baby. Swaddled, with eyes half-open. I looked up to catch the younger nurse looking away. The doctor came over to say she was so sorry. I nodded and waited for someone to tell me what to do.

Coding and Sleeping
I don't think there's a right size for a chapter. Long enough to end in places that make the reader want to say "Okay, one more chapter."

Because books.
A chapter's sort of like a paragraph. You want it to be one logical, complete thought.

Ok, something to keep in mind. Maybe I should write it and break it up later...maybe people with more sequential minds don't have to do that, but it might be an LD thing.
