You know, drabbles are such an intersting exercise for me (as I'm sure they are for you, as well) because it's such a test of trying to capture that one moment. And do it with EXACTLY one hundred words. In a way that doesn't tip your hand to your reader about what you had to cut or change or leave behind.

*nods* Sometimes I hit on or close to 100 words right away, and other times I'm off by more than 10 words, and in that case, I'm always over the limit and have to figure out what I can cut without losing impact.
Yay! Glad you liked. I was a little worried when you gave me 'cowboy' because Em cave me the same word, but your drabble went in a polar opposite direction. :)
I'd forgotten that Em had already used that prompt. But I like my story better ;) It made work a lot better today, cause whenever I had to deal with an idiot, I thought about naked Dean in cowboys boots and just smiled.

How quickly the tables turn. *g* Dean really should know better than to mess with John.
Favorite lines:
John Winchester had three smiles: shit-kicking, shit-eating, and shiiiit.
*g* I love this description.
“You’re gettin’ rusty, kid. All I’m sayin’.”

Cranky, hungover Dean pleases me.
Favorite lines:
“What’s wrong? ‘Tequila Trail Boss’ feelin’ a little rode hard and put away wet this morning?”
*snickers*
“At least she let you keep your boots on.”
What a great image. *g*

You'd write a drabble for little ol' me? *bats eyelashes* I'm flattered!
Okay, after much careful consideration, I choose:
Pepper.
It's a noun, it's a verb...you can do all sorts of fun things with it! (Be grateful. My first thought was "trilobite.")
Oh, and I apologize on behalf of the month of August. Apparently that cliche about folks keeping warm on winter days must be true!

August should appreciate your grace. ;P
