Eggistance is futile
Floating powerless for days.
Oxygen levels ok.
Water aplenty thanks to re-sike.
Food!
That's the issue.
It's also the reason why Tommys on the otherside of the cockpit window.
Body weak.
Mind faltering.
+++++++++++
Awakened,
Bright white blur becomes smiling face
"Don't move. We need to get some food into you. You're hours away from your body completely shutting down"
Subdued
I rest.
+++++++++++
Eyes heavy,
breath laboured
The mood has changed
Coms clash and clatter
"We ordered hours ago - put the chef on!!"
The room dissolves.
My slowing heartbeat is my final prayer...
"Chef Psykokow here... the eggs are nearly done"
(This is my actually 100% real drabble)

That's unfair, SD! Spam has relevance
i am glad my taste buds have nothing in common with yours, next you will be saying marmite & bovril tastes good!
note to self in the film back two the future at 9/11(return journey) he time travels at the twin pines mall and when he comes back its the lone pine mall
that was a great insight in 1985

..then the canopy breached
“God, I beseech you to hear my most fervent prayers, in this my hour of need.
I come to you as a quite recent but truly devout convert, repenting my life of sin. Honest.
I have strayed from the path into money lending, murdering, gun-running, piracy, slaving, and coveting, so much lovely, squelchy coveting. But these, I only did in a casual way, so I’m sure that doesn't count.
Being omniscient as you are, you can tell that I’m really, really serious.
I implore you to let me safely dock, with my cargo intact.
Lord, please give me a sign....”

Marmite, spread on a slice of Spam, on toast has a certain je ne sais quoi
I notice they didn't have Spam OR Marmite in Back to the Future.

Marmite, spread on a slice of Spam, on toast has a certain je ne sais quoi
I think you'll find the phrase you're looking for is "Vomit-inducing horror"
The descent.
The sound of buckling twisting metal reverberated through the python like death’s final words as the ship span out of control.
Frantically, Marcus fought with the controls and power management systems to get some, any kind of power back into the engines before the ship hit the atmosphere of the gas giant.
But no matter how hard he tried, it just…
“COME ON!” he screamed
As red glow from the rapidly heating hull intensified, Marcus sat back in the chair taking out a family picture.
“I promise, everything will be fine” he prayed, as a tear rolled down his cheek.

Thermometer
Most of the instruments were dead. I couldn't read interior or hull temperatures, utilise weapons or scanners, and had no fuel to jump to a repair shop.
I'd emerged close to a hot star, I had some shield power, I could refuel; the gauge still worked.
Scoop open, I edged into the corona. The temperature rose.
Lunch ignored on the dashboard, I tried to think of a prayer. It might help, but it'd been a long time; I was rusty.
A hiss! The Spam on my toast was sizzling. I knew the prayer!
"Please let me refuel before lunch burns!"

Allegedly, Simoof has scratched his Entry #8 and claims that this entry: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5777&page=511&p=2743556&viewfull=1#post2743556 is his really, absolutely, final, last, the-one, 100%-real drabble for this week. I think you should give it the respect it deserves.

Darn it, the 100 word limit meant I couldn't include the Marmite - lunch was spoilt!

Is that supposed to be ambiguous, Erik?

I guess you haven't really developed a taste for it yet, Edith? Don't worry, you do get to like it, eventually

Marmite I'm quite happy with, indeed I believe Marmite on buttered toast to be a thing of rare, delicious, salty beauty and I've been known to chain-eat 6 rounds of it before now.
Spam I haven't tasted for more than 25 years due to being a piscivore during that time, but I remember it to be quite delicious and most agreeable. Plus that key on the side of the can is totally awesome and all tins should open that way
However the combination of spam and marmite in the same dish... no. Just, really... no.

Mmmm. Now you're talking. A hint of Marmite in a sauce for Alaskan Colin really brings the fish to life (not literally, of course).And I must agree that Spam would have no place in that. This is all a bit off topic - perhaps we should start a "34th century recipe swapping" thread??? )just a thought)
And I am totally in agreement about the key on the side of the tin.

Oooooh... Now I need to buy a whole pollock or two this weekend. And work out a good sauce which needs salt. I'm thinking parsley or butter...
*drools*
Parsley AND butter, surely?

Parsley AND butter, surely? With a touch of black pepper, and just wave the Marmite jar over the pan... Mmmm.
