Every Monday, I will post a prompt. You have until the following Monday to write and reply with a 100-200 word fic, i.e. a 'drabble', inspired by the prompt. (For an extra challenge, try to hit exactly 100 words!)
You can reply with the full text of the drabble, or link out to another site like Ao3, Tumblr, etc.
Any rating is permitted; please warn for NSFW and content where appropriate.
WHAT ELSE?
Don't worry if you missed last week: you can go back and write a late response anytime.
You may post more than one response to a single week's prompt.
If you're inspired to continue your drabbles, you're welcome to connect multiple challenge responses to each other, or expand on your fics outside of the challenge.
Characters: Kurumizawa Kosuke, mentions of Tokio Rating: G Notes: spoilers for 25th Ward Word count: 100
To say he was a ghost in the machine wasn't accurate- Kurumizawa Kosuke had ascended beyond that. Limiting spiritual entities to the binary of alive versus dead seemed reductive.
He feels within digital space and endless time, waiting for a blip of consciousness other than himself to appear. The Scarlet Cat program felt finicky at times, the .png feeling more like a broken artifact rather than a proper avatar.
Kurumizawa feels a shift in this echo of the old internet, and he waits patiently, seeing a TurtleGuy emerge from beyond his awareness.
Another specter of the past... what perfect timing.
