These drabbles were written in
response to the 2006 Tracy Island Writers Forum's Drabble
Challenge. The
challenge was as follows:
Choose three of the following
six topics and write one drabble for each of the topics you
chose. You will wind up with three 100-word drabbles on
whichever three topics you chose. Here are your choices:
A)
Scott during a rescue (could be his thoughts, someone
observing him, something he's actually doing, etc.).
B)
Virgil while playing the piano (again, could be his thoughts,
someone observing/listening, etc.).
C)
Gordon's and Alan's relationship as brothers (one or both of
them thinking about it, one of them thinking about the other,
someone else ruminating on their relationship, etc.).
D)
Lady Penelope (either her thoughts or someone else's about
her/what she does, etc.).
E)
The Thunderbirds (perhaps the ship's actual POV or someone's
thoughts about one or all of them, etc.).
F)
Parody drabble (anything goes, parody style). Click here for the full-screen version.
Drabble
One
A) Scott during a rescue (could be his thoughts, someone
observing him, something he's actually doing, etc.).
Watching
the Field Commander from the shadows, I am unable to contain
my glee; the plan to destroy International Rescue is working!
I'm so close, I can see the look on his face as he spies his
fallen colleague; terror, dread and horror, masked as one
tormented _expression, reminding me that the blood pumping
through my veins is warm.
'Gordon!'
a desperate cry escapes his lips, echoing against the hollow
earth.
I get that
familiar feeling; it attacks the bottom of my spine and works
its way up, slowly warming my insides as it goes. Suddenly, I
feel alive again.
Drabble
Two
C) Gordon's and Alan's relationship as brothers (one or both
of them thinking about it, one of them thinking about the
other, someone else ruminating on their relationship, etc.).
There have
been very few times in my life when my brother, Gordon, has
tested my patience but today is definitely one of them. He
says she's oversensitive, that it was just a joke and it must
be 'that time of the month'. She says he's thoughtless, that
it was a cruel trick and he needs to grow up. Me? What do I
say? I say nothing. I'm bang slap in the middle of it, as
usual. Gordy, you know I could never choose between you, so
why do you keep putting me between a rock and a hard place?
Drabble
Three
D) Lady Penelope (either her thoughts or someone else's about
her/what she does, etc.).
She ain't
what you expect from a Lady, I know that much. She ain't
normal and she don't 'alf take my Nosey for granted. Not to
mention me! One time, we 'ad all these old biddies coming;
three coach loads, and what did she do? Took my Nosey an' 'er
precious Rolls an' did a bunk! Leavin' muggings 'ere to pander
to 'em all.
I cook for
'er y'see, do a bit of 'ousework for 'er an' all, so I know.
Oh, yes! I know more 'bout what goes on in that 'ouse than
what she gives me credit for.
