Title: Must Bring Beer…
Word count: 200
Fandom: Highlander
Challenge: #051: The Written Word
Summary: Willow finds a misfiled photocopy….…

Disclaimer: Not mine, not mine.



Puzzled, Willow eyed the photocopy. It had been tucked into one of the files Giles had given to her, but there was no mention of the new demon. She peered at Giles’s tidy writing, trying to make sense of the translation; this guy was really obsessed with beer….

[Date unknown]

Cuniform: Circa 1500 BCE:

Trans: I really don’t know why I revisited this bloody country, it always brings back bad memories; Kronos always loved it, reason enough to leave, besides…


French: Circa 1800 CE?

Trans: Persian beer is terrible, I’ve decided to take myself to Egypt.


[Break in Entry, date unknown] 


Egyptian Hieroglyphs: Circa 200 BCE

Trans: In Rome. Just learned Ramirez is dead. The news is two centuries late, as per usual. Shall miss the old peacock, he was one of the few left who knew what it was like back then. I’ve decided to leave…


Latin, Classical: 100 CE

Trans: Rome has always despised beer; only place left is London—


“Excuse me,” Giles muttered, pulling the sheet out of her hands “I’d wondered where that’d got to.” Willow watched as he tucked it into a different file, and leaned over to sneak a look.

*counts on more fingers, breaks out calculator*

Novel = 50,000 words; Formula = 6 drabbles for 1,000 words, and 1=100 words thereafter; 50,000 - 1,000 = 49,000 / 100 = 490

So, 496 drabbles. *grin*

Yeah, well, my understanding is probably at the level of "Ooh, look at the pretty", so I'm looking at the pretty...
