Great job, Varda! I loved your story. Very Varda.

I swear if you stare at your profile picture long enough the mustache comes alive That would be Beatrice. Long time back Varda (another user) and I had a running series of drabbles inspired by my username that eventually became about an intergalactic invasion of parasitic moustaches. It's 'The Mous...

The alien pointed. "Purple wire to the red cubezoid, green tube into the qellezer puff, then reattach red wires to that squirmy Crweelin creature. Watch out, it spits." Gart5bk's spaceship was nearly repaired, no thanks to his injured arms but to his enslaving-device and the hapless 'Earth' native h...

It happens at night. It happens if you don't lock your door kiss your mother stay quiet It happens to the animals slow ones left outside. It happens if you don’t follow the rules If you don't say your prayers say that you love them. It happens to naughty children the infirm and elderly Fools. It hap...

If only my cookies were so specific and clear.

The train's been hunting me for weeks. I can run no longer, no match for its hunger. It will follow my tracks until the end.

What the hell do I do with Four Oarsmen and Seven Sea Lions?

Dyslexia saves the day again.

...the glove is cast.

I'll have to think on that awhile.

Be sure to keep it up!

While I like it enough, I feel that this drabble could be stronger if it were told less literally. It's almost like a Wikipedia summary of the story. Two separate articles, even, as there's a big shift from one half to the other. Suppose you told the story from Hitomi's perspective. Imagine how she ...

Ghoulish.
Cat-eyed dolls. That'll give even Bloody Mary a run for her scary money.

Exactly where shivers should be. :>

This drabble is one of my favorites. Had fun producing it. thank you for the kind words. :) Reminds me I haven't done a dribblecast for awhile. Need to break out the mic this weekend. Aw. I'm glad to hear it was one of your faves. I enjoyed working on that one. Too often do I go straight for the ea...

Love it, Goc. I've read it three times and still have no idea what's happening, but I love it anyway. I know I'd want ice cream if I was suffering from heatstroke in an eternal 4th of July as well, no matter how sticky.

A very nice moment. I like these drabbles which tell stories of moments. It reminds me of those stories people tell when they've hardly a story at all - just a moment or two in their lives they can't fully explain.

Peter wiped Tootle’s blood from his mouth. Another saved from growing up. Wings flew him away to look for more lost boys.

Don't trust the stuffed boar in your uncle's attic. If it offers you eternal life, ask to use the bathroom. Do not return.

“TRICK OR TREAT!” Nora didn’t recognize the costume. Before she could ask, he continued. “Would you like a trick or a treat?" Nora blinked. “Oh, for me? A trick, then.” The trick-or-treater pulled a package of MintPuffs out of his pillowcase. "I thought those were discontinued!" she exclaimed. "But ...

That was genuinely chilling! Thanks for responding to that challenge. I love this idea of a garden of teeth, although my question only grows more urgent - what does he do with the teeth now that he's got a crop of them? For another time, I'm sure, because the mystery is proving a very enjoyable sour...

Hi MonsieurMoustache and thank you for posting. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the piece. It isn't often that I'd write a drabble in one solid block of text, and I couldn't really tell you why I decided to do so in this case. With your permission, I'll make your recommended adjustments. I'm very gr...
