labyfic | Drabble #143: Light at the end of the tunnel

...we had a nice response to my last posted drabble prompt of Drabble 139, with entries by

redwolf and commenting by me (your intrepid drabble proposer

jalenstrix). (Once again, my real life nonsense got in the way this month of me completing my own drabble....sigh. Next time...)

As always, special labyfic love to

redwolf for adding entries and comments for several previous drabble prompts. Huzzah!

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

Light at the end of the tunnel

What is this light? Is it daylight...or an oncoming train? Literal or metaphorical? 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
$your_beautiful_drabble

I'll aim to get the next drabble challenge out on the first Tuesday of next month (Mar 5).

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.)
