Weekly Drabble Thread #79 (Patreon)

A new week and a new drabble thread. As per usual, this is for to all my patrons, so if you have a (brief) prompt or theme, post it below by the end of Tuesday. I'll select one or more to use/incorporate into a drabble/short story. As ever, be sure to double-check your post: if it  hasn't gone through, you can message the idea to me.
