"The power of discrimination? I didn't think people admitted that so casually anymore. Are the wraparound sunglasses the new pointy-hoods?" Rick grinned and laughed at his own joke.

"Not that kind of discrimination dork."

"Then why do you call it that?"

Nolan gazed up at the ceiling counting to ten in his head. "Freshmen, they think they know everything already. For your knowledge powers terminology was developed almost a century ago."( Remainder of scene cut, click here to continue... )

Flann sat perched on the side table and watched the mysterious girl sleep. There were times being a feline moddy could be quite useful. Being presumed little more than entertainment in the form of living art made meant few in the household paid any real attention to him. Which made his true job of protecting Lady Dwyer all the easier. Ever since the previous morning that meant watching this girl, young woman really, who had collapsed at the back doorstep without anyone seeing her arrive.

"Cat, you're sitting where her breakfast tray goes."

Title: The Train Job
Warnings: Someone says tarnation
Length: 289 words
Genre/Setting: Western


"Those mad geniuses, I have to find out how they pulled it off."

"You already said they boarded the train and herded you all off at gunpoint. What else is there to understand?"

"Not that Sheriff. It's just it didn't make sense before. It still doesn't, not really, but now I know what they wanted."

"Ezekiel, have you been in the sun too long? You're not making a lick of sense."( more train robbery under the cut... )

I posted my January Prompt Bingo card two weeks ago and have since written to six of the prompts:

• Hedge Maze: School Hedge Maze Outing in which a school field trip goes a bit awry.


• Telepathy: Not in the Job Description in which a personal assistant must deal with some spies.


• Captive: Captive Thief in which a young thief is brought before the master of the house.


• Bureaucracy: The Second Option in which things don't go well for a group of terrorists.


• Looking for something lost: How'd That Happen? in which a college student makes a surprise discovery.


• Experiment: Experimental Subjects in which a spy from the Telepathy story finds himself caught and a mad scientist has a phone call.

I have one more partially written and have figured out where I intend to go with another. There are however two weeks of January left and plenty of time to leave prompts based on the bingo card squares. I've enjoyed writing to the prompts left so far, so even if I have some thoughts on where I might go with some of the unpicked squares, don't let that stop you. :)

This one is almost short enough to be a drabble. Okay, almost 50% to long to meet the hardline drabble length limit, but that's still quite short. I almost never manage that.

Title: How'd That Happen?
Warnings: mild ickiness?
Length: 149 words
Genre/Setting: Modern Weirdness


"I didn't know this really happened."

"What are you talking about?" My roommate came in and I couldn't help but stare. He had something greenish-gray and wrinkled in his hand. At a second look it was translucent and glowing. "What the heck is that?"

"You know how much trouble I've been having all semester?"

"Dude, this whole year."

"Right. Well I was bored and started pulling boxes out from under the bed. I thought I had a box with a six pack of Jolt."

"You're kidding. Do they even make that anymore?"

"I think so. There's still some on the shelf at the corner store back home. Anyway, I opened the box and this was in it instead. I think I misplaced my mind when I was packing."

"Right, pull the other... Huh. It does sorta look like a brain."

"So what the hell do I do with it?"

"Line up and join hands. We won't go in until everyone has joined hands." Miss Darby walked the length of her class and smiled at the way they quickly followed directions.

"Miss Darby, Danny's squeezing too hard!"
