labyfic / Drabble #191: Twinkle (Reply)

...we had a nice response to my last posted drabble prompt of Drabble 187, with entries by

apachefirecat, and commenting by both of them and me (one of your intrepid drabble proposers) as well. Huzzah!

As always, special labyfic love to

redwolf for adding entries and comments for several previous drabble prompts. You are the light that keeps us going strong!

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

Twinkle

What (or who) is twinkling? How exactly? Why? 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:

I'll aim to get my next drabble challenge out on the first Thursday of next month (Feb 7).

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.)
