I'm voting for Darren Grey for the 'Stationary Life'.

 

[Minti2]

There are some great Drabbles on the list, just read everyone of them while having brek this morning.

Its hard to chose one, there's quite a few i like in equal measure!

I thought Space Station challenge: Stationary life by Darren Grey got the essence,
but hard pressed, am going 17, The Rookie's Only Mistake DDuck as number one.

Whens the new one start?

Edit, thats funny Ian, i hadnt seen your post before i posted mine, we had same ideas!

[Sir.Tj]

Even though my masterpiece has been removed from the list

It's got to be Digital Ducks Rookie drabble for me, sounds far to familar.

 

[psykokow]

So On the 'proper' list.. I make it thus far..

3 votes for Ducks 12. The rookies only mistake.
1 vote for Franks 2. Corriolis Effect
1 vote for Darren Grey 9. Stationary Life

 

[el_tel]

Lots of good ones, but if I had to choose 1 it would be No 2 - 'The Coriolis Effect'.

I'm picking one of the blokes what picked my drabble. El_Tel's is fantastic for managing a twist in the tale within 100 words.

But my vote goes to Darren Grey 9. Stationary Life because it's really really filthy.


...What? What do you mean only a pervert would read sexual connotations into that drabble?

'Helpless' - An Elite drabble by James Vigor

The engines sputter and die. Plumes of black smoke, barely distinguishable from the space around them, billow endlessly from the holes he blew in my hull.

Dim red lights illuminate the cockpit as I gaze out at him. Somehow, our eyes meet across the empty vacuum between us. He senses my surrender, but he shows no sign of mercy. He narrows his eyes, staring into my soul, revelling in my fear.

A single missile disengages from his hull. An evil smile of satisfaction spreads from one side of his face to the other as the missile tears the ship apart.
