One Hundred Words - A Little Drabble Do Ya! - 11th September

“Have you seen the new application forms for agents wishing to join Section 2?” Napoleon Solo asked his partner, Illya Kuryakin. “One part says ‘State in one hundred words or fewer, what precisely you would bring to Section 2, which makes you perfect for the position’. How could anyone be precise in only one hundred words?”

Illya cocked his head to the side as he pondered the question.

“I would need only one word,” he said, with absolute conviction.

“Oh, do tell, Tovarisch. Which particular word describes what you bring to Section 2 and makes you perfect for it?”

“Me.”
