Subject:          Two Drabbles

Below are two drabbles I posted to alt.tv.x-files.creative back in
April.  As they aren't in the archive, I thought I should email them.
Both qualify as G-rated humor vignettes, and the first is in an
alternate universe (obviously).  The second may or may not qualify as
an Angst story. :-)
   They are also available at my page ("The Basement") at

   "No, they were extinct by then!" Frohike yelled back from the front
seat.  "It was the Bavarian Illuminati!"
   "You're closer," Byers interjected without taking his eyes from the
road, "but by this time, the Bavarian group had fragmented into..."
   Dana closed her eyes.  Only twelve more hours, she told herself.
