There are many things I could be doing right now, with various levels of productiveness and importance. But, I spent the evening rewatching a few episodes of Doctor Who's series four, so instead I wrote an incomprehensible drabble.
This is a Doctor Who/Les Miserables crossover, and will make no sense if you haven't seen DW 4x11, "Turn Left." For that matter, it might not make sense even if you have.
Marius draws breath to tell of the Jondrettes, and falters. The police inspector is looking at him strangely. No . . . past him. At the air just behind his shoulder.
"What is it?" he asks instead. The man's sharp gaze snaps back to his.
"Nothing. Go on, talk."
Marius stares, and finds himself stepping back toward the door. He will never be able to explain why.
"Never mind," he says. "I'm sorry to have bothered you."
The inspector's reply, heavy with a peculiar emphasis that makes Marius shudder, follows him outside.
"Young man, there is something on your back."

This time the tense didn't strike me at all ;) I just went "Wait, she said she always writes in present tense! ... oh, hey, she did!" XD

Is what I'm saying! Of course, with drabbles, there's a strictly practical reason for it - present tense uses fewer words. It saves a verb or two that can be vital in sticking to the one hundred word limit.

It is possibly the ONLY thing about this drabble that makes sense.
Also, I appear to be too lazy to switch SNs in my Firefox LJlogin add-on and refresh to reply with the proper SN.
