Drabble #4: Labyrinth again

[marycrawford]

astolat asked for another Labyrinth drabble (the first two are here).

Thanks to elynross and aka_arduinna for beta.



It was only a matter of time before Sarah got bored at her new job, and the tokens started showing up. A sweet-smelling peach. A crystal snowglobe in which the snow never stopped falling. An automaton goblin that stomped around her desk, making little clanking noises.

She walked through the office hallways carrying a clipboard and pen, her head held high, and she pretended not to notice how the walls moved around behind her back and the doorknobs whispered to each other.

If she turned her head, she knew she'd see the worm, telling her which way to go.

Taking a leaf from wickedwords' book: I have 6 slots left in the drabble request meme, so if anyone wants a drabble in Hercules: the Legendary Journeys, SGA, Invisible Man or Labyrinth, please comment. You can throw words at me, or characters, or settings, or all three, and be as specific or non-specific as you like. :-)

Hey, thanks! New icon?

I've had this one a while. It's from a really nice set baylorsr did, of Firefly characters with quotes from Lord of the Rings.
