I have done the homework and written a ficlet for the flash challenge for

Bits and Bobs

Feed back, yes please.

“Quiet! She’s coming!”

Everything in the chest froze into the inanimate objects they were. The mistress of the box opened the lid and then lifted off the top tray to get at the sharp and deadly things beneath.  The objects in the tray breathed a sigh of relief when they were put back and the lid to the trunk was snapped shut.

“Phew! That was close,” the clock ticked.

“You should have been keeping time, that is what you’re supposed to do,” the cat grumbled, licking its plush fur.

“I can’t help it if the mistress keeps ungodly hours,” the clock whined, its cartoon face glaring at the cat.

“Hush! The Mom might be about.”

“As if you care,” sniped the pretty-in-pink autograph book, jealous of the recently acquired seashell. The book was bereft. No one had entered a signature for years. It wondered why it was here with all the mistress’s cherished things. It hadn’t been looked at in an age.

The silver trophy hummed to itself. It was held in high esteem. Its owner had won it in a cheerleader contest. It knew that it was top of the pile, so to speak.

“We all care,” muttered the goggles. It felt that it held a rare position in the box. It actually came in contact with its owner’s face. It clung to the mistress’s flesh when she was in hot pursuit of pretty seashells. “None of us want to be turfed out. If the Mom discovers the mistress’s hidden stash, we’ll all get the boot. Mom’s don’t think straight when they’ve been lied to.”

The basket yapped, “We don’t want the mistress to get into any more trouble than she is. She has enough to worry about.”

“She is the slayer, after all,” the clock reminded them all. “What will she do to us if she finds out we’re more than what we seem?”

“But she loves us,” objected the trophy. “She wouldn’t destroy someone she loves, would she?”

“I wouldn’t bet on it,” the cat meowed. “Love can be a fickle thing.”

The End.

So. BSG acting nominations? Zip. Poor Mary, she deserves so much better than this.

However, probably the most enjoyable and fast-paced eps of the season, Six of One, was nominated for Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series! And of course, I'm sure the pilotician smoochies in the episode helped the Emmy voters decide. *G*

I'm also strangely proud of Danny Strong who got a nom for his penning of 'Recount'. Go, Jonathan!
