Drabble #95: Adaptation

[jalenstrix]

...we had a quieter response to the drabble prompt of Drabble 94, with an entry by me (your intrepid drabble proposer jalenstrix).



For this prompt, we continue with our one-word/phrase drabble roots:

Adaptation

Who's adapting? Adapting to what? Why and why now? What contortions (mental, physical, metaphysical, or otherwise) do they have to go through to make that adaptation? Tell us all about it labyfic-style!




Given our entries from recent months, let's continue with the suggested limit for this month of 500 words. Though remember that shorter pieces are most definitely welcome!

Your entry should take the following format, posted as a comment on this entry:

Word count: # of words
Drabble: $your_beautiful_drabble



I'll aim to get the next drabble challenge out on the first Friday of next month (September 4).

I'm also very happy to take suggestions if something in particular strikes your fancy -- comment on this post or PM me with your suggestions. You can see our current collected suggestions here.


Remember: Feedback is LOVE. So do reply to your fellow labyficcers' drabbles if so inclined. (Though be careful of concrit unless specifically okayed by the author beforehand.)

A very fortuitous turn of the Universe, Sarah. That's how. ;)

It's always good to have a designated driver. Or at least someone sober enough to prevent the inebriated members of the party from tackling unsuspecting chuggers and stealing their koala suits. 🦊🧡
