Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

askye, what everyone else said. I first saw that one in ita's thread, and thank you for posting it there; it took my breath away.

Erika, that's a lovely call back to a much more innocent time, for me. Captures the feeling very well.

Strix, oh dear. That one I'm going to have to sit with for a while; so many of my women friends have/had complicated relationships with alcohol. I think a lot of them would wince in recognition.

Oh, definitely. I was good for that way too far into my 30s. I blame the Navy and suffering from undiagnosed bipolar disorder.

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

That strikes a nerve, Strix. And excellently, sparely written for best effect, as well.

Karl, oh. Thank you for allowing us to share that. I live in constant amazement at human capability--and culpability. It is lovely to see you here, though.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Thanks guys. I hadn't limited myself to the 100 word drabble in a while, and I was pleased with it.

This drabble brought to you by the last time (many years ago) I did so many (truly, at least 10 with some mixed drinks over about 5 hours) tequila shots, out alone bar hopping, and the only time I truly do not know if I slept with the person that had to help me stagger into my apartment. I don't think I did -- it didn't FEEL like it, yanno? -- but I woke up naked in my bed with vomit on the covers. I was all, "NOPE NOPE NOPE Done, over, no more going out drinking alone." I went to the gyno, regardless.

Erika, that made me snort. So well done, you.

Yeah, okay, it's neither poetic nor proof I should have been a profiler at Quantico, but I guess it was honest enough.

Because books.

Such good writing! I love that we're doing this again.

Somebody else want to suggest a prompt this week?
