What, you mean you don't want to write a drabble based on the line, "I'm so sorry, Martha, I forgot you were booked in for today."?
I just don't understand you people.
I just don't understand you people.
Is this thing on?.

Wednesday 20th, 9:30am: A 75 year old moose, Martha, awakes in her bed. She realises that she has booked an appointment on this day. She hurriedly gets ready only to remember that the appointment isn't for another 4 and a half hours. She cleans the house for a while, has a flick through her lifestyle magazines and makes a ham salad sandwich for lunch.
Friday 15th, 2:52pm: A moose makes an appointment to have her tear ducts removed at her local body-part erasers. She is fed up with shedding tears.
Wednesday 20th, 2:15pm: Magda, the head consultant at 'Body-part Erasers Inc.' telephones a customer. " ...I'm afraid we'll still be charging you for the appointment that you missed earlier today. I'm very sorry but it is our policy. Thank you and goodbye".
Tuesday 12th, 10:44am: a plane with a family of mooses on it crashes into the Pacific ocean
Wednesday 20th 1:45pm - one year previous: Magda, a moose, is on the telephone to her friend Martha. She is at her place of work, Body-part Erasers Inc.. After some indecipherable words from Martha, Magda says: "I'm so sorry, Martha, I forgot you were booked in for today."? Martha replies: "Oh Mags, don't worry. I've decided to not go ahead with it after all. I'd rather leave them intact".

She was also a big troop entertainer in her younger years. She was loud and brass and not that attractive I think as she got older - but she had that 40's glamour look back then.

Martha Stewart Prison Fic Drabble Aphid Canon Tait Harrington Shock!
She snorted, despising his striped tie, and fixed Mr Tait with a gaze capable of melting butter at high altitude.
“So then…potatoes was it?” Fond thoughts of Luxembourg coloured his memory and face. “Aphids attacking the prison garden again?”
Michael Tait had hit the big time.
Elsewhere, Dr Harrington wept quietly.

Re: Martha Stewart Prison Fic Drabble Aphid Canon Tait Harrington Shock!
You win, and your prize is the following explanation of the term 'drabble', what I stole off some Star Wars website I've lost the link to:
DRABBLE. A story of exactly 100 words, no more, no less. Up to 15 words extra are allowed for the title. Hyphenated-words-are-argued-about. The drabble craze started in British SF fandom in the late 1980s, and the term originates from a Monty Python skit: "Drabble. A word game for 2 to 4 players. The four players sit from left to right and the first person to write a novel wins." However to be playable, the 'novel' had to be cut short. Brian Aldiss became enthusiastic about mini-sagas of 50 words, and one writer even advocated 8 words, but eventually the Birmingham University SF Society decided on 100 words. Many respected SF writers joined in the The Drabble Project and the resulting collections were sold, all proceeds going to charity. Lately, drabbles have been drawing attention again, beginning in Doctor Who fanfic and then other bigger fandoms like Trek. Variants of 150, 200, or 350 words have appeared. However, the most common form is still the 100 word drabble.
