Editor's Notes: A big "Thanks!" to Ergoemos, the author of the Haruhi Suzumiya fanfiction classic "One Thousand and Counting", for providing the tenth drabble in this series.
"The Pitch"
by Ergoemos
I read the piece of paper placed before me on the table.
COMING SOON! Darkness falls upon the Earth. In the shadows, she lies in wait. Was that the curtains in the moonlight, or a skirt? Did that glint of light come from glasses, or a knife? If Yuki finds you, it doesn't matter.
From the makers of…
"Haruhi, what is this?"
"It's the plot summary for 'The Revenge of Yuki Nagato!'"
"It's a slasher movie..."
"Duh!"
Yuki turned from her book, appraising me with an inhuman, terrible grace; her unblinking alien eyes luminous, cold, and emotionless.
I sighed.
E/N: Has Yuki turned into a slasher? Reality bent to Haruhi's will to facilitate the filming of "The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina," so it's not a stretch to think it would do so again for "The Revenge of Yuki Nagato." At first I suggested making the last two words of the drabble, "Oh shit!", but now I think Ergoemos's more subtle version reads better.
