Meme sheep

[tsaiko]

The first fifteen people to comment on this post get to request a drabble from me. In return, you have to post this meme in your journal. Post all fandoms you’re willing to write for.

Fandoms include: Young Avengers, Gundam Wing, Digimon... oh hell, I'll be here all day if I have to list all of them. Check my profile. If it's listed, I'll write for it.

I'll also do original, but not spoilers. Writing will get done when I have a chance, so it might be awhile before I get all 15. "Drabble" is a subjective term for me. It'll be as long as the scene demands.

Now to see if my laptop will play nice with the GPS unit.

Since I've been seeing pretties spawned from this meme all over my friends page, howzzabout a Witch-King or STFU drabble? You have such sparkly WIPs. ^_^.

STFU!

Matt was in the middle of writing a paper for his English class when the power died. One second there was light and music and four pages of speculation on why Heathcliff was a closet sadist and the next there was darkness. Poof. His paper was gone. He hadn’t even saved yet.

“My paper…”

From out in the hallway Matt heard a loud thud, what sounded like claws on tile, then a series of hisses. He looked towards where his door stood open.

There was a velociraptor standing in the doorway

A velociraptor. At his door. Looking at him. Even in the half gloom of twilight with the lights out, Matt recognized that shape. His brother’s favorite movie was Jurassic Park. Part of him wanted to start screaming. A bigger part of him wanted to run. Instead he just sat there, staring stupidly at something that by all rights should not exist.

The velociraptor cocked his head one way, then another, like a bird. Then it let out a low trilling sound before turning and leaving. Matt was still staring when Tessa appeared.

“Do you need a flashlight? The lights are out for the entire west side of campus.”

“There was a velociraptor. It was just here. I saw it.” His voice came out strained.

Tessa gave him a long considering look. When she spoke, there was a strange cadence to her words. “No, there wasn’t. Someone came in to check on you, but that was it. That’s all that happened until I showed up. There was no velociraptor.”

He felt something slide over his skin, like electricity, and settle into place. But it didn’t change the fact that he had seen it. Right there. At his door. Tessa seemed to be waiting for some kind of answer. Matt’s voice came out normal and steady when he replied. “Okay. Thanks for the offer. I think I’ve got a flashlight in my drawer though.”

“Good.” Tessa’s voice was bright, almost cheerful, when she spoke. “If you need extra batteries, let me know. I’ve got spares. Take care”

As soon as she was gone, as soon as he was alone, Matt put his head down on the desk. “This place is so fucking weird.”
