Crimson Stain - A Little Drabble Do Ya! - Feb 8th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

The crimson stain spread fairly rapidly across the pristine, crisp white fabric, much to the shock of Napoleon Solo. He stared in fascinated horror as the liquid bloomed outwards from its source. His companion grabbed as much absorbent material as was to hand and attempted to prevent any further spreading. It was an entirely futile move as it was already, quite clearly, too late.

“Don’t worry,” Solo told his date, as he signalled the waiter, and tried not to think of how much it had cost him. “Accidents happen. I’m sure the waiter can get us another bottle of wine.”

Hee hee! You fooled me on this one. Thought it might be wine, but was guessing it was IK! Good drabble!

Thank you :-)

I knew people would guess what it was, but I'm glad I was able to fool you with the who :-)

Excellent! Very astute. And usually I don't read drabbles. Seems I am wrong.

Our drabbles are definitely worth the read. I hope you'll stop in on a more regular basis... um, Wednesdays are always Drabble Day ;)

Thank you :-)
I love the challenge posed by drabbles. It's not so easy to tell a tale in so few words.

I for one did not think of the wine until it was too obvious to miss. Good job on this, sort of trompe l'oeil for words :D

Thank you :-D
I love 'trompe l'oeil for words' as a description.
