Drabble

[ffutures]

Thinking about continuing the Batman / Buffy / Angel drabble series from earlier this year.

Earlier parts are at http://www.tthfanfic.com/story.php?no=4688

This doesn't quite work as a stand-alone story, but as the opening for a series I think it will do; just not 100% sure I want to continue the series. Any thoughts / suggestions?

Afterlife

By Marcus L. Rowland

He peers at the mirror, sees an empty room.

"Mirrors ignore us, my poppet," says Drusilla. "But soon you'll hear your reflection in this city's screams. The stars will whimper as they rise over Gotham."

"Soon?" he snarls. "Why not now?"

"First you feed," she cuts a line above her breasts with a razor-sharp fingernail, "my blood for power, then we shall hunt and dine on boys and girls and puppies."

He sucks, says "Soon? When do we kill Batman?"

"When he has nothing left to live for."

The Joker nods. Dead or alive, it's his kind of plan.

It certainly works well as the opener for a series; if you do carry it on I'll read it enthusiastically.

But it works equally well as a postscript to the existing series.

I enjoyed all the previous parts, so if you're going to carry on, I'm there.

Conversely, like speakr2customrs said, it works equally well as an epilogue.
