Community Event / Creation Abraka Drabble The Old Official Drabble THIS IS AN EX THREAD IT IS DEADED

[Bikky]

Oh dear, they've been reading Frank's and Kow's past drab's, can't even warrant that with the ble on the end LOL.

Vengeance

Slipping past the guards I leave danger and Malum's chamber behind; my 'gift' successfully smuggled under voracious eyes.

Believing it a tithe from a family defeated, she'd beamed, lusting to "play with her twelve divines". Her depravity disgusted me! Anger boils within, "such arrogance not to fear retribution, well taste real corruption you heinous murderer!"

Ignoring her shuttle pilot's death rattles I manoeuvre my trophy away.

Aroused and naked, singing before her, the cloned divines undulate gracefully in tune with Malum's song. My doomsday signal triggers... the clones embrace, bare flesh coupling as new genetic bonds begin their nuclear cascade.

I'd just like to apologise to my children, my grand-children and my great-great grand children (as and when or indeed if, the latter two come to be) who will be blighted by the following:

-----------------------------

The alarm clock buzzed exuberantly until Dopey’s mag-boot ended its brief working life.

Why Bashful, even accounting for all the Janxx slammers, had chosen him rather than one of the others: all hard-muscled miners, still escaped him.
An astronavigation specialist, with a 200 IQ, such beauties normally avoided him.

Suddenly anxious that this was some joke, he stretched to retrieve his gear from his jacket, planning to relax in his own special way.

Bashful stirred. “Cold!!” she complained, burying herself deeper under the covers and pulling him back towards her. “You’re the best snuggler ever”, she purred.

He stopped worrying.

I just realised that I'd seen these characters somewhere before and you've captured them perfectly. Very well done sir. Have some rep
---------------------

Oh, and Frank. Really!? "They're just mug layers!" - lollollololololllooollol

Let's have that full house Ladies and Gentlemen. All the regulars have shown their hands. But there's still a bit of space at the table for new players. You've got until Thursday night for those last two Drabbles.

 

[@_JustinPinner]

Here's my first ever drabble I knocked up on the train tonight. Is this where I post it? Hope so. Guess it's all about smuggling so...

Crash Drabbling

Gravity sucks. Well technically it attracts. Main motors offline, feds saw to that. Attitude thrusters hanging in there.

Red hot. Plasma blackout. Controls dead. Too steep. She’s screaming. No, that’s me.

Why did I scoop that brandy? Not stolen. Found!

Vibrations bullying every rivet. Eyes sting, can’t see.

Abrupt silence. Blue sky. Clouds. Plummeting. Meteoric.

Maybe it’ll be okay. Hull plating. Pretty sure that was important.

Flaring hard. Low altitude. Sirens. Warnings.

Impact. An 800lb gorilla jumps on me. Crushing.

Darkness. Cooling creaks and ticks. Dust.

"Hello? Galactic Line Insurance? I need to make a claim. Oh, and an ambulance."

 

[Erik Marcaigh]

Welcome in, @_JustinPinner!! And a very nice Drabble as well!

Frank, we yanked this one out of Twitter!

I'll be pushing Drabbles out at PAX South this weekend too.

 

[Bleke]

She’s screaming. No, that’s me. "

That's funny!

 

[Frank]

A beautiful debut Drabble. A twitter-ite knows a thing or two about saying a lot with a little number of letters. Nice work Justin!

That's just the one Drabble left then? Come on! I'm looking at you at the back lurking away. There's already 19 on the table. You could sneak the last one on and nobody would notice.

Welcome to Abraka Drabble Justin. And lovely first Drabble, great job!

---------------
And.... we have just one space left - so you better make it quick if you want to get your 100 word drabble entered. The entries have been flying in like smugglers docking at Lave!

This week's topic -- Smuggling -- has brought a flurry of drabbles. The submission window shuts on Thursday evening with the poll being raised immediately after. Our wise and benevolent host Frank will then sneak us in to the Grand Auditorium for the 3-day judging bonanza and 'The Vote' whilst the honourable Psykokow will entertain us with an excellent live video show, audiocast and a flying asteroid blasting Space Kat.

If you think I'm exaggerating just look at the quality of the drabbles and you'll realise this corner of the forums holds the baths of creativity... where everyone is welcome to come take a dip! Just remember to bring your own towel otherwise you'll be given one out of lost property... and you don't want that, they're often used to mop the bar in the Tranquil Backwater

 

[rootsrat]

Great drabble and welcome to the Hotel California of extreme short story writing (to avoid possible confusion I'm referring to the bit about you never leaving rather than anything to do with steely knives)

 

[W4rSkuLL]

Many good drabbles this week. Going to be hard to choose just 3 Thx for +1 from reppers.

 

[Darkoba]

There's that Asian pilot again.

The Cobra settled onto the cradle at Barnard's. The hatch opened and the Asian pilot, resplendent in the latest fashion, stepped out, looked around haughtily and nodded to the dockworkers before striding off towards the Thargoid-and-Fer-de-Lance.

"Mr. Ling! Welcome back. The usual?" Sven fawned uncharacteristically, knowing his tip would be generous...

Back in the bay, the workers emptied the hold, detouring several "special" canisters, finding the expected and promised reward for their discretion.

"Who is that pilot, anyway?" asked the new guy, "and where does he get that attitude?"

"Don't ask! He's a very successful, er, 'trader'. That's smug Ling."

Phew! Just squeezed in, I hope.

 

[Sir.Tj]

Ohh is that the 20?

Let the madness begin...well later tonight anyway.

That's smug Ling."

Aye carumba.

 

[Galactic Midden]

Ohh is that the 20?

Does that mean we could start the poll early and have 5 days of voting? Plus any extra drabbles can be lodged here just for fun.

 

[psykokow]

In theory yes, but in actuality, the Timescale should not be altered... otherwise the Chaos monkeys will invade...and the world will be destroyed!!
And it will be your FAULT mr Midden!!!
