Thank you insanephoton. And thank you for making Psykokow's job just that little bit more interesting <grin>
That's it folks! As always, any entries after this point are absolutely the best stories I've ever read, and would've been a sure-fire winner if they'd made it into the poll.

Wait! Please stop the poll. I've just reread my drabble and realised it's the worst pile of intergalactic space fertiliser I've ever had the misfortune of reading. Who wrote that rubbish!?
It doesn't really matter. You could have written a Drabble more profound than Jean Paul Sartre, more sarcastic than George Orwell, funnier than Douglas Adams, scarier than Stephen King, cleverer than James Joyce, and it would be beaten by EidLeWeise's entry.
I have a feeling Grant is going to want to watch the video of tonight's drabble show when he gets home ... NOBODY TELL HIM
Wait.
There was a show?
I knew I felt a disturbance in the force.
It was better than the last time I hosted and yes, your absence was felt.
I was trying out Twitch's experimental Pyschic Chat feature* but the problem was you weren't dead, so I had to resort to guessing if your name began with a K or an L, but you did have a sister and she loves you very much and says you should look under the carpet.
I think my agent is ringing with my TV deal

The irony is that your Pyschic Chat feature* is still better than Elite: Dangerous' comms system.

I was on my motorcycle. Vroom! Vroom!
We were all away watching Erik doin' donuts.
Congratulations insanephoton. Usually you get to keep the imaginary toilet paper crown for a week, but seeing the theme for the week, we've decided to award you an imaginary mug presented to you by none other than our fictitious character, David Brooben.
"MUG!!!" <smash>

Trick.....but no treat.
Kow bounced with excitement, his playdoh neck bolts wobbled.
'I love Halloween!!!' He giggled, his green face illuminated by the airlock light.
He held a plate of deep-fried haggis ready to welcome the trick-or-treaters.
Alien sat in the cockpit watching the ships CCTV with an evil grin.
A bit of manipulation with the ships artificial sound allowed her to make a knock-knock reverberate throughout the ship, She'd done similar with the safety systems.
Kow squeeeeeeeeeeed with glee and hit the airlock button.
The squeeeeeeeee faded as Kow shot out into deep space.
The haggis floated after him.
'Trick!' Alien giggled.

Wordcount
Cleonymus was counting. "Fiftythree Fiftyfour Fiftyfive Fiftysix Fiftyseven fiftyeight fiftynine"
"What are you up to?" interrupted his co-pilot, Smiler.
"Sixty! Obviously I am counting."
"Yes, but what are you counting."
"Words. I am counting the words in my Drabble entry."
"Drabble. What is a Drabble?"
"Its a story of exactly one hundred words."
"Why one hundred words? Is it to stop you getting bored?"
"Its a competition. A different subject every week in exactly one hundred words. If you win you get to choose the next topic."
"And what is the topic about this week."
Cleonymus sighed. "Trick or Treat"

Well thanks for the imaginary mug, I hope that you're using the opportunity to dry clean the imaginary toilet paper crown, it was starting to get a bit niffy last time I won. In case anyone missed the other thread, this week's topic is 'Trick or Treat
The challenge we are setting you is to write a story in exactly 100 words. Not a word more. Not a word less.
The story should be set in the Elite Universe and the exact number of 100 words does not include the title. On Sunday the winner shall have the honour of choosing the next topic. Our current holder title of the world's greatest Elite: Dangerous-based Drabbler is insanephoton. The topic he has tasked us with is "Trick or Treat"
A good place to compose your story is recommended by Erik, http://www.wordcounter.net/
Entries to a poll will be limited to the first 20 Drabbles submitted, and the poll might go up earlier than Thurday night if all those slots are filled but don't let that stop you from showing us what you would have entered in the contest. Friday night the live readings occur http://twitch.tv/psykokow so don't miss it, all drabbles are read out... 7pm BST
Please bear in mind that this is a family forum, read by little people with impressionable minds and old folks who are easily shocked. We want as many people as possible to feel comfortable on this thread. Don't write anything that you wouldn't want to read out in front of your family. It may appear a little hypocritical of me to ask you to watch your language. I myself sometimes find it difficult to know what is and isn't acceptable. The rule of thumb I use is that if think my words are shocking enough to raise and army of the dead who will haunt me every Oct 31st for crimes against decency, then I don't post it.
So.. Talking about an army of ghoulish apparitions, Who's hosting the poll this week?
