Drabble #49: Alone For How Long
...we had several loverly responses for the lyrics drabble prompt of Drabble 48, with entries by the delightful tmwillson3, the brilliant haradachi, and me (your intrepid drabble proposer jalenstrix). And of course, we were greatly bolstered by the commenting love of the labyfic collective, represented this past month by annissag, me, 3iggy, tmwillson3, and womanroaring.
Mwah, my drabbling and drabble-supporting labyficcers! You guys are awesome.
Inspired by suggestions from my_quorum, I offer a lyric snippet from Bowie's Teenage Wildlife (performed here):
The word is that the hunted one is out there on his own
You're alone for maybe the last time
The suspense, it is everywhere. Everywhere, I tell you.
Let's continue with the 250 word limit for this month. (But remember: 250 is the limit, not the requirement! Feel free to grace us with shorter pieces as the fancy strikes you. :) )
Your entry should take the following format, posted as a comment on this entry:
Word count: $your_word_count
Author's notes: This can include anything you want readers to be aware of (ex: warnings for graphic sex or violence, openness to concrit).
Drabble: $your_beautiful_drabble
I'll aim to get the next drabble challenge out on the first Friday of next month (November 4).
I'm also very happy to take suggestions if something in particular strikes your fancy -- comment on this post or PM me with your suggestions. You can see our current collected suggestions here.
Remember: Feedback is LOVE. So do reply to your fellow labyficcers' drabbles if so inclined. (Though be careful of concrit unless specifically okayed by the author beforehand.)
