Labyrinth Drabbles

by Jalen Strix

A series of labyrinth drabbles and very short fiction, often inspired by the prompts from the livejournal labyfic community. A variety of genres and characters, but often humor makes an appearance as a genre and Jareth makes an appearance as a character.

"Well, almost always-"

"But you the king – you fix anything, no? We good subjects of yours."

"The best!"

And then, altogether, "Pleeeeeeeeeeeease…."

The king closed his eyes briefly, took a measured breath, and then remarked crisply, "Very well – but the next time you play Twister, you will remove the 'Complete Jumble' option from the spinner."
