[keiko-kirin.livejournal.com]

This week's drabble challenge is this quote, suggested by karavila:

Strike a glass, and it will not endure an instant; simply do not strike it, and it will endure a thousand years. --G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

Responses to the drabble challenge may be drabbles (exactly 100 words), drabble-and-a-half (150 words), double drabbles (200 words), or a series of drabbles (related responses, each 100 words). Drabble challenges run for one week. This one ends 25 February 2014.
