Drabble #134: Time management

[jalenstrix]

...we had a nice response to the drabble prompt of Drabble 133, with entries by redwolf and comments by me (your intrepid drabble proposer jalenstrix) and redwolf. (Also, my real life nonsense got in the way this month of me completing my own drabble....grar. Next time...)

As always, special labyfic love to redwolf for adding entries and comments for several previous drabble prompts. (More to come on that in a separate post.) Huzzah!





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

Time management

Ah, time management...so important. Who needs to do it and why? What things (or people or creatures) are all demanding attention at once? How? Tell us all about it. Labyfic-style, of course.




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

I'll aim to get the next drabble challenge out on the second Monday of next month (Jan 8).

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. Authors generally write for love.)

Ooooh, that's just dastardly about the room decor for that fae lord -- he's clearly in for it.

Also, an irate Goblin King does sound like an excellent way to move negotiations along.

Alas I am way too familiar with the kind of bureaucrat who would still not get the hint even if Jareth set the man's hair alight or sicced goblins on him. The kind of oxygen thief who managed to fail upwards way beyond his capability due to promotion being the only way previous managers could rid themselves of his presence. I suspect he'd still try and talk if he was submerged in the bog. I may need to borrow Jareth to test these theories. 🦊🧡
