1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them~.

He doesn't even pay attention to those around him, the sounds of the radio static, the voices of those on the ground below, because it's not important. Not when there's a world just waiting for him to dive into it.
