The Drabblecast Forums

Norm just declared that the Drabblecast was going to be open to new voices! Nathan Lee is going to be choosing the stories from now on! These are dangerous, heady times. I have a Yeti mic and no experience. Am I banished to the Dribble wastes? Nay! I shall summon all the weirdness I contain! Here am...

You can take all of what I'm about to write with a grain of salt, as I'm about 2.5 beers in: The first story I liked.

Locked in had a great twist ending. Is it wrong that I laughed out loud in my car at the end (quite a lot)?

Great ending, and unexpected, though this does have historical precedent in a way. The Israelites under the Babylonian empire come to mind.
