For posterity, and/or the mildly curious, here's my response to challenge #107 on highlander100
This is the life, Fitz thought, bouncing along. An automated carriage. Brilliance!
He tugged down the goggles, flexing gloved fingers. Ah, the wind in one's hair, the freedom... The only improvement needed -
A delicate hand flapped enthusiastically, and its owner stepped onto the near empty road.
'Oh! What a marvellous contraption!' she gushed as he drew to a leisurely halt.
Fitz threw open the door. 'My dear lady, you simply must experience it for yourself!'
Catching a glimpse of thigh as she gathered her skirts to climb in, he smiled. Oh yes, he was enjoying the bounties of modern technology.
. Ah, I miss writing silly little bits of fic like this.
