Another empty coffin

All available pilots assembled on the observation deck of the Majestic class interdictor. The music played and seven gold sidewinders flew "missing man" overhead. There was no body in the coffin, just a few generic trinkets.

"Who died?"
"New Rookie. They called him Sledgehammer. Nobody'd met him yet except the squad leader, and she's in the infirmary after that docking bay crash."
"What happened?"
"Good question. Nobody saw him go down, he just never checked back in"
"Checkin" thought sledgehammer. "Damn. Knew I'd forgotten something." He discreetly covered his name badge with his hand and edged out of the room.

Remembrance Day

They stood in solemn science in the hanger of the station, The lights glowing a dim red as the last post echoed through the communication system, some traditions never faded despite the passing of the centuries.

As the ceremony ended two hundred elite combat pilots made thier way to their ships, an opposing faction were heading towards the station determined to take control of the star system.

Rascon sat in the cockpit of his ship waiting for the off.

"One more war" he thought, "then we will have peace".

Every year they stop to remember but lessons are never learnt.

Davie walked into the deserted bar. The Barman nodded over to a man slumped over a table, a pile of glasses in front of him. One glass had a small red flower in it. Davie sighed, every year Mac promised he wouldn't do this again.

‘Ok, Time to go.’ Davie said softly, helping him up.

‘So many ships on fire, so many friends.’ Mac grumbled, ‘But No monument, no acknowledgement, not even minutes silence any more’

‘Were his stories true?’ asked the Barman.

‘Please remember,’ Mac slurred. ‘Because if you remember one of us, you've got to remember us all!’

Remember

Remember when we used to play
And homework would not get done
And Mum was happy she'd found a way
That we could have a little fun

Remember when summer was fab
And Christmas was filled with joy
Homework still was drab
As you played with your new toy

Remember when you were young
And all the things you used to do
Remember the smile that was on your face
You now see in your children too

Remember these times you had
One day they will be gone
And all the things that made you glad
Memories merged as one

Rachel Philmeole pouted, "I'm not doing it, an indentured servant can hold it!"

Joey scowled. "And just how will they do that since our last one choked whilst cleaning out your handbag"

"You're a pig Joey!" Rachel spat, "how was I to know it was allergic to fur?"

"Allergic? Ha! That's a joke, right? The poor guys head got stuck inside a furry handcuff; I can't believe you own those things"

<WHACK!>

Handbag gripped like a flail Rachel screamed "Enough! You're never nice to me!"

Oh come now Rachel, Joey said dodging her attacks "I'll always... be there for you!"

Um.... why did you set it up a day early? :)

Because... erm... nah! I cant think of any good excuses. I'm an idiot. I'd been playing Fallout 4 solidly and I thought to myself "My God! I've forgotten about the Drabble Poll, and erected it hastily.

Could some kind passing mod remove the offending article?
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/poll.php?pollid=2241&do=showresults

and I'll put the poll up in a timely fashion tonight. So there yo go folks. Get yer entries in quick before the old fool puts it up. You still have that one day to get your stories in. I'm not going to phone Alanis Morrisette about the irony of the topic of the week.

Some things are best forgotten

The night was dark under the cloud cover, but still shadows flickered between the trees.

Time passed and the shadows converged, wary and furtive they gathered on an empty glade hidden in the forest.

At precisely midnight a voice floated across the empty glade,

"Every year members of our society gather together, under the moto 'Lest we forget our guilt'."

Suddenly mechanical humming smothered the voice as Imperial security drones descended from the trees. Light pierced the gloom and deadly lasers flashed.

The members of the 'Sentients of Achenar Rememberence Society' joined the objects of their reverence in eternal oblivion.

Oh Brilliant :) An embarrassing blunder to gloat over :D

I have closed the poll and reset the votes, but cannot delete it without deleting the whole thread.

I can either
a) add any new drabbles to the existing thread and restart the poll tonight
b) delete the thread and someone will have to do all the hard work of recreating it (I have a suggestion as to who that should be....)

Let me know which option is the least embarrassing
