Snapshots

Disclaimer: "Labyrinth" belongs to Jim Henson & Co. There's no money being made off of this. This a collection of snapshots that will be updated continually. The only rule: bite-sized bits of fiction set in this universe, many of them inspired by challenges over at Livejournal's "labyfic" community. Privately message me with a 1-word theme, and I will write about it :) I love challenges.
The first time Jareth showed up at Scrabble night, Sir Didymus was in the middle of beating us mercilessly with a tangled word he swore was German. Hoggle was about to call his bluff, but instead his eyes bulged like tennis balls. The shadows of my room flared to life, and with them, His Nibs.
He surveyed us warily, but his speech held a slight sneer. "Don't you have any other games?"
He pursed his lips when I showed him my Dreamcast, but when I turned the game on, he laughed. Even tried to engage me in another wager, which I refused. Good thing, too, because it turns out the Goblin King is a natural at Dance Dance Revolution.
