The aim of the game is simple. What you do, is you write a drabble based on a previous set of words, then pick three words of your own for someone else to write from. The word list is provided below. Ideally no word should be repeated between picks, but I'm not too bothered to be honest.
I remind people that a drabble must be exactly one hundred words in length, not a word more, or a word less. Most of the challenge in drabble writing is getting exactly on that limit.
Various other rules:
- This is for fun, take it that way.
- You may write from a set of words that's already been written from. Creativity is more important.
- You cannot submit a set of words unless you've written something, or it's been 24 hours since the last person wrote something
- The words are inspiration, nothing more. Some of the best drabbles from this word list started off using the words and ended up having nothing to do with them. Some relationship should be visible.
- Don't feel you have to write in the warhammer universe, I most likely won't.*

_________
It didn't matter really. Nothing he did was going to change that shadow looming towards him. He fumbled with his pistol, pulled the trigger, but there was just the thud of flint on steel. He tried again. Nothing. It was getting closer, with an inevitable feel to it's walk. He considered running again, but this corridor wasn't guaranteed to go on forever. He dashed backwards around the next corner, attempting to reload his pistol again. He was fumbling from his fear. One last try he thought. He turned the corner, and shot it dead, not 4 feet away.
_________
I now present the next challenge: 14. Green, 46. Star, and 71. Broken
