Weekly Drabble Challenge (five words)

[lawnnun.livejournal.com]

Rules:
1) A drabble is, by definition, a 100-word story therefore all responses should be 100 words exactly, no exceptions.
2) You may also choose to respond to this challenge with a five-minute sketch.
3)PLEASE put the word DRABBLE at the top of your post. That way people can easily spot the drabbles in amongst any reader comments they receive.

RATING:I don't think this should be limited so reader beware that they could be any rating (you could put it in the subject line if you feel it needs it)

PLEASE try to remember to make each drabble a comment in response to the original post. That way, if the comments start to collapse, the drabbles themselves should remain visible.

This week: five words.
Slink
Slither
Slime
Sluice
Slosh

Bonus points for using all five, of course.

Rescuing reptiles in the lock (actually a drabble, for once*)

“I’ve found it!” I called, sloshing wetly up the slimy ladder. Behind me, water surged into the lock as Jeeves reopened the sluice-gate.

I surrendered the salamander. “Gussie gets his newt, slithers into a Royal Soc. Fellowship, marries the Basset and I cancel the spongebag trousers. A water-tight plan.”

Jeeves frowned. I froze. “What?”

“Mr Fink-Nottle is mistaken. This is no new species, but merely an albino.”

“Ah.”

“I propose we deliver it, and -”

“Say toodle-pip to all, slink off to Cannes before the penny drops?”

“The Riviera is highly recommended.”

“Right-ho, Jeeves. You pack. I’ll get the two-seater.”

* and I apologise for the ones that weren't [edited to add... not that I have any realistic likelihood of giving them up...]

Alas, poor Gussie. XD

And don't worry, we forgive you.

Hee hee, this just about sounds like one of the episodes. Well done, old thing!

DRABBLE: Documenting The Newt Contretemps

(Not only did I use all five words, but I used them in order! \o/ Haha!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Jeeves?”

“Sir?”

“Two things. Firstly, I’m writing up that contretemps last month at Aunt Dahlia’s, with Gussie and his newts.”

“I recall it vividly, sir.”

“Yes, well, I’m describing the newts and ‘slink’ isn’t quite the thingummy.”

“Have you considered ‘slither’, sir?”

“Brilliant, Jeeves! I’ll never forget Aunt Dahlia’s look of unholy horror at the slime on the bathroom floor.”

“Indeed, the tile had to be sluiced down with steaming water and washed several times.”

“Mm, yes.”

“Sir?”

“Hm?”

“The second thing, sir?”

“Second thing? What? Oh! A slosh of the blushful Hippocrene, please, my good man.”

“At once, sir.”

Woah.

Double serving of kudos to you. A thing of beauty and immaculately formed :)
