labyfic / Drabble #116: Air (Reply)

...we had a livelier response to the drabble prompt of Drabble 115, with entries by

redwolf and me (your intrepid drabble proposer

jalenstrix), and commenting love by us both as well. Hurrah! Special labyfic love to

redwolf for adding entries for many previous drabble prompts. Very fun reads!

And thanks so much to everyone for your patience while I came up for air from having newborn triplets.

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

Air

(Inspired by my own experience of finally coming up for some, metaphorically speaking.)

Is someone coming up for air? Getting some fresh air? Airing out their grievances? Noticing something about the air all around? Tell us all about it. Labyfic-style, of course. (Especially how.)

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 (July 1).

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.)
