Author's notes: So there's an awesome meme on LJ for StarTrek Reboot (I love that name btw) and so I'm trying for true drabbles this time around. 100 words per each one. They're not written in order, so I'll let you know the prompt in each. Please read and review... drabbles are hard!
Disclaimer: StarTrek belongs to Paramount and Abrams and Roddenberry and probably some other studio people as well. The prompts come from the ST_Reboot drabble challenge... and the title of this collection is from Napolean who said "A good sketch is better than a long speech", only he said it in French. :-)
16. McCoy, hangover
Pounding headache. Sour stomach. Cotton mouth. Body aches. All classic signs of a hangover. He squints in the bright light, cursing his ex-wife, and climbs aboard the shuttle craft.
He's got 15 minutes until take-off and he knows from painful experience that hangovers and shuttle travel do not mix. He pushes past the other cadets, all fresh-faced and eager. He finds the refresher: small, windowless and perfect. He sits down on the closed seat, rests his head against the wall and takes a slug from his flask. The only cure for a hangover he knows, besides time, is more alcohol.
Finite!
