labyfic / Drabble #208: Chrysalis (Reply)

...we had a nice response to my last posted drabble prompt of Drabble 200, with entries by

redwolf and

apachefirecat, and commenting by the fabulous

redwolf,

apachefirecat, and me (

jalenstrix), one of your intrepid drabble proposers. Huzzah!

As always, special labyfic love to

redwolf for adding entries and comments for several previous drabble prompts. Onward, drabblers, inspired by our

redwolf!

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

Chrysalis

A protective outer shell, shielding transformation inside -- is someone in one? Did someone create one? Is someone emerging from one? Who? How? What transformation is it? 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 my next drabble challenge out on the first Friday of next month (June 6).

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.)
