I hope you were doing something useful whilst you wrote that drabble... or is it just when you read it....

"In a situation provided with maximum amplification, perform a disciplined action. Tthe performer should allow any interruptions of the action, the action should fulfill an obligation to others, the same action should not be used in more than one performance, and should not be the performance of a musical composition."

This is written on "the score" of 4'23''

Another Milk Run

A grand isn't enough for this, but I can't leave the system until I get the drive repaired.

500 meters left, hard to concentrate though. "Look kids, will you keep the noise down!"
"They're restless, Commander. It's been a long trip."
"Yeah, don't I just know it."

400 meters, almost there.
"Docking request granted."

300 meters, straightening up. "Quiet you two! Damn it, Miss, they're your kids..."
"Proximity warning."

Crap, that Type-6 is a bit close!
"Taking damage."

Oh sh...!
"Canopy compromised. Cabin pressure alert."

Ship repairs: 800 credits.
Four replacement remLocks: 200 credits.
Peace and quiet during docking: Priceless.

Ok, big question time....

Who's going to host the poll tonight? Psykokow, Alien, and I (and maybe others?) will be in the middle of streaming CQC for Mayhem.

That leaves Frank? Galactic Midden? T.j?(!) Or someone new to step in? I set the poll up beforehand in Notepad so all I have to do is one big copy/paste at the end. Problem is when it adds carriage returns (like last weeks poll) and things look funny. The host this week can go to last week's poll and hit "reply with quote" to get all the BB Code used to decorate it up. Though it's not necessary.

It looks like 13 entries, unless we also count Alien's avant-garde entry this week.


Remember, silence may be golden, but one thing I've learned while doing work for the charity I help is that the silent people are the ones who get picked to Chair the big projects....

Here's my entry. I'm away from home so no chance of poll hoisting sorry.

Homecoming

I can't take anymore.

It's everywhere I go. Pulsating. Buzzing. Squeezing.

I can feel it. Cold, like winter dawn's breath on my brow. I know what it is. It's...

Aargh pain, noise. No, no stop!

From cargo bay to galley, there is no respite. Why do I wander? It's days until Sol. Days since they boarded...

Aargh the noise. Stop, please stop.

I touch my forehead. Sweat, red sweat next to metal. Metal? A crown? No, the boarders...

Aaaaaaaaargh!

I stand at a door. Wall lights flash warnings. Something fills the porthole... Earth?

I reach up, the noise is deafening

It's the old regulars, they've done so many Drabbles now that their standard posts start to resemble them.

It's up. and it's here

And if that gets you in a democratic mood, why not stick a few crosses next to the stories over here

Thanks to everyone for the votes. After my initial euphoria of winning had settled down a bit I realised I'd have to come up with topic. Isn't the topic list getting long? I don't think it would matter if we repeat a few topics now and again. We've got a whole new bunch of writers who never had a crack at the topics the first time around.

The Crew and the Cobra III

The silent explosion was followed by and increasing hiss as the air from the inside the python leaked past his Remlock. He had been working towards this moment for as long as he could remember, just the moment, the plan, the crew. Four of them were in the python all entered different sections of the ship, the crew aiding his way to the bridge, engines, door security, cameras all disabled… into the cockpit he ripped off his Remlock to reveal a badger head below…. “That’s three drabbles Cow!” He screamed firing his pistol. “let’s see if you remember number four”

(I am not actually angry or a psychopath, but maybe only a psychopath would be quite so explicit in their denial.)

The Novelty Never Wears Off

Sandy had a massive grin on his face, "Great! That's half for me, half for David."

The clerks watched Sandy walk jauntily out the office, "Have you ever met David?"

The other clerk shook his head no, "Sandy says he's responsible for the smooth running of his ship. I guess he's too busy to collect bounties."

Sandy entered his Cobra and gave David a playful slap on the back of his head. David's plastic head bobbled in response. The fixed wry smile on David's lips never looked more appropriate than when Sandy was placing credit transfer confirmations under his stand.
