Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge [Darleen Click]

The Inspiration:

A story:

They had run through the night, leaving the shrouded forest behind just as dawn pinked the sky.

She slid from Shi-iro’s back. He pawed the ground, snorting, muscles twitching under his foamed-flecked hide. Her hand touched at where she had hidden the bottle in her sleeve.

Still there, a last resort.

The key, dangling from twine on her neck, between her breasts. In the grimness of her flight, it gave her hope.

She walked to the edge of the cliff, the sea spread out at her feet, the salt air in her nostrils. Yes, there, on the horizon.

Sails.

    10 points if you can get all the refs without looking them up.

    I couldn’t.

  6. McGehee says:

    I’d have to look up Curwen, Trevor the Pit and maybe Dave Lister, except I suspect in his case I’d merely have my memory jostled.

    Am I the only one who thinks Simon Helberg would have been perfect to play a Ferengi?

  7. McGehee says:

    I didn’t look up Dave Lister, but I think I know who he is now. Did you know Craig Ferguson was on an episode of that show?
