Wow! I think this just made my day. First off, I was unexpectedly delighted by the idea of an "Archie" drabble, considering how much of my summer vacations used to be spent reading those comic books. And then this is a great premise for a summer-themed drabble -- that the supporting characters might decide to take their plot into their own hands, so to speak.

This line is my very favorite: The horizon was a black line in front of them, and she was ready to see what lay beyond it. I love that it's a reference to their world being a comic book, but it wouldn't be jarring even if you didn't know that.

Thanks very much for your comment! I wondered if an Archie drabble was too dorky even for me, but the comics and digests were a big part of my summer readings, too, and this just kinda came to me. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
