New to this, hey there.

So do i drop them here? Let me know if it needs to go anywhere else. LAST POST:



I've heard it said they used to play a tune when you die. Heard it was a sad tune, meant to signify the end of the day, the end of your day when the sun had finally gone down on your life and the dust was settling.


That would be nice, people thinking of me, thinking of how I bought the farm in some CZ no one cared about. Thinking how that Vulture caught me on the turn, melted my shields and shattered my canopy. How it made me run, then caught me.


Only I ain't dead yet.

Welcome, new fresh drabblers. This promises to be very interesting. I wonder who'll be first past the last post.

I see Simoof has taken a leaf out of the Sirius Cybernetics' book. It's a good job we don't have time machines. It would play havoc with copyright law
 
I did not realise it was possible to write a drabble WITHOUT the aforementioned beer.

Thinks.....

Consults the happiness cupboard....


Ahhh - there is an alternative... Wine....

Perhaps next week.

C

I'm pretty sure that a drabble consisting of the word "Wine" would describe accurately, this forum :p
 
Nobody noticed. Shhhh. Plus I was first.

The timestamps on the posts show otherwise. Of course what would really muddy the waters would be if some mischievous mod were to edit my post and ruin my timestamp. I'm sure glad our mods are way too mature to act in such a juvenile fashion.

Despite what the timestamp says, I'm posting this so far in the future that it is, in all probability, the very last post.
Best regards,

I would agree. But I am more interested in something more epic that is imminent. I feel today is going to be a good day.

Wait - 31/05/2016, 12:57 PM is the timestamp of when I posted my drabble.
What is the timestamp on yours? Yeah. Justice shall be mine.

Pipped at the (Last) Post.

The long haul is almost over. I've dodged Imperial ships, customs officials, Federation police, bounty hunters and pirates, hiding behind asteroids or in deep craters on barren planet surfaces.

My mission? To deliver a unique alien artefact to a remote outpost whose name and location I'm not allowed to disclose.

I've spent hair raising weeks avoiding every pip that appeared on my scanner, but now the outpost is just minutes away. It's my last mission; with the proceeds, I'm retiring.

"Permission to land?"

What's this? Five pips on scanner, climbing fast from the post, weapons readied. Damn! They mean business!

So your post is the last post.

Blimey! It didn't take long to burn through the last of the thread.
