HT100 Challenge #25- Mr. Sandman: Nightmare on Oz Street

Sep 20, 2003 09:14

I couldn't seem to write anything serious this week, no matter how hard I tried. LOL. So I decided to give Toby a dream that's a lot like one *I* would have. (Thanks to Mav for giving me a title without even having seen the drabble. *g*)

"C'mere, Toby... take your pants off."

"No Chris, I have to finish!" Toby continued the feverish task of sorting all the socks in Oz by size and color. Whenever he developed a workable set of categories, the giant talking weasel from Unit B used a high-powered leafblower to destroy his work. It was infuriating, but he needed to control his temper. His parole hearing was coming up soon.

"Toby, let's go! Pants. Off."

"Goddammit, I can't!"

The weasel was again cackling maniacally over the leafblower's roar when Toby awoke to the buzzer sounding count.

Cafeteria tacos, he thought. Never again.
