HT100 Challenge #119: You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth
Well yay for the previous challenge being a success. Thanks everyone who came up with something. Now, let's watch this one fall flat on its face... *g*
Start your drabble with a quotation and then carry on from there, as in this example: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife. Or so Tobias had so often heard...
You may supply your own quote(s), or choose from the selection behind the cut. Be sure and put the quote in italics, with attribution to the author at the end. Oh, and the quote will not contribute toward your final word count. As always, canon or AU.
Have fun.
