Last-Line-First-Line Giles Drabble: Slayer’s Dilemma
Challenge from giles_shorts. Rule is to reuse last line of a drabble as opening sentence. I’m using the chaining-challenged last line from my previous Giles drabble here to redeem myself. (That makes it two drabbles today. Sorry for the spam, dear friends.)
Title: Slayer’s Dilemma
Length: 100
Rating: G
Characters: Giles, Buffy, Xander
Disclaimer: Don’t own a thing, but Joss did say we could play.
“Slayers' funeral arrangements are preapproved but a living wage is against Council operating principles?” Buffy glared at Giles, incredulous. “Gee, fake my own death a few times and I’d be flush. Got it.”
Giles was about to offer encouragement when Xander burst in, sheets of paper in hand. “The Xan-man has a solution!”
Buffy peered, “What’s this stuff?”
“Job application. Thought you could work with me in construction.”
“Uh-huh,” Buffy was doubtful. The large box marked “EXPERIENCE” she’d be leaving empty.
“And sign at the bottom to consent to a urine drug test.”
“Now you’re joking!” But Buffy wasn’t amused.
