Author's Note: There is little to say about this set of drabbles except that they have inspired some things. The drabble entitled "The Kite" was my starting inspiration for the short story "Like Father, Like Daughter" in my second Little Shop of Horrors collection, and I illustrated the drabble called "Crisp, Aging Mushnik" for deviantart. Once again, enjoy!

Tonight Drabbles

Tonight

Inspired by the song, "Tonight Quintet" from West Side Story

Artists: West Side Story, Original West End Cast Recording

There were always those terrifying days on Skid Row that Seymour regretted living through during his childhood. Sometimes he just saw them, the older and more threatening boys that would enjoy bullying him very much if they could catch him. Thank God he was a skinny kid and could run from most of them, but he remembered once walking into one of their meetings and being shoved and punched around their gang circle before being thrown inside a dumpster. When he finally headed back to the home, he was bruised and beaten...

Crisp, Aging Mushnik

Inspired from the song, "Suppertime" from Little Shop of Horrors

Artists: Little Shop of Horrors Original Cast Recording

Audrey II watched the boy closely with a toothy plant grin. It knew that its meal would be coming soon. It couldn't wait to feast on that crisp, aging Mushnik. All it would take to end the struggle were a few decisive chomps...

The Kite

Inspired by the song, "The Kite" from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

Artist: Anthony Rapp

"Come on, Daddy!" Julie urged her father. "Make it fly!"

"Don't think I'm not trying, Julie girl," Seymour replied, trying to make his daughter's kite fly at the Greenville Park. It was a surprisingly challenging task he realized...

So Right

Inspired by the song, "Come on Get Higher"

by Matt Nathanson

As they walked along together, Seymour and Audrey forgot the world altogether. They just wanted each other. When Audrey saw something of interest, she pointed it out to Seymour, and he would laugh along too. Even if he had secretly taken advantage of her lack-of-sadist boyfriend to get her, he just forgot all the bad in her arms. When they finally stopped at her apartment, she pulled him close and kissed him passionately, and naturally he kissed her back. She hugged him tightly and whispered, "I feel so right now."

A Singer

Inspired by the song, "Grow for Me" from the Little Shop of Horrors

Artist: Hunter Foster

Seymour discovered that he was actually a decent singer after Audrey barged into the back from hearing him sing to his plant "friends". (He called them friends since he had no real ones).

"Seymour, was that you singin'?" she asked him blankly.

"Um, um, oh yeah. I'm sorry, I just can't help myself."

"Don't be sorry. You have a talent with ya' voice. I came in 'cause I thought you sounded great," she smiled. "I really liked it."

More!

Inspired by the Act 1 Finale from Little Shop of Horrors

From the Little Shop of Horrors New Broadway Cast Recording

Audrey II waited in the dark shop before Seymour came in with the bucket full of body parts splotched with blood.

"FEED ME!" it shrieked before the boy pulled a severed hand out and tossed it inside its pod before looking away disgusted with himself and the blood all over his arms. The plant didn't care though, and continued to cry, "More, more!!"
