The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

Hoix are eating machines. Anything organic will do, they're even less fussy than weevils in that respect. In fact, a Hoix is probably the only creature anywhere that would eat a Weevil.

About the only thing safe from a Hoix's appetite is another Hoix. If that weren't the case, they'd each themselves into extinction. The hunger of the Hoix is legendary.

The one in Torchwood's cells is no exception; it can eat its own bodyweight every day and still want more. Torchwood would be facing bankruptcy from feeding it, but for one thing.

It's a really excellent garbage disposal unit.
