On the 7th day of the Lunar New Year, it’s EVERYONE’S birthday! Happy birthday everyone!
My first drabble! Exactly 100 words. Looks rather curt though.

The Caiman
The caiman loves children. Children love stories.
And the caiman has many to tell.
He smiles when they approach, weaving wonderful stories but halfway, the caiman stops, worrying the children.
Crying, the caiman says that his teeth hurt so much that he can only tell stories for so long. See the blood? That’s where they have pierced his gums.
He begs the children to pull them out because his mouth is too large for his legs to reach in.
The children help.
And when the adults show, the caiman smiles again, for now he has a new tale to tell.
END

Date: 11th February 2008, Soifong’s birthday!
Time taken: Under half an hour
Inspiration: Neil Gaiman (See, Caiman?), Roald Dahl’s The Crocodile and Beastly Tales, 4 hours of sleep and a bus ride home.

For the rest, a caiman is a type of crocodile with a more elegant looking snout. It’s also a little smaller than the usual crocodiles that Hollywood uses for its dramatic cliché horror dramedies.
Also, random(!) birthday notices:
09/2: Troy and Briseis (OC – own character, not Orange Country or the drama)
10/2: Kudou Himiko (Getbackers)
11/2: Soifong (Bleach)
12/2: Yachiru (Bleach)
13/2: EVERYONE’S BIRTHDAY!
I shall save Valentine’s Day babies for another day.
And our results are only coming back at the earliest, 29th Feb! Why! D<
I have Riefu stuck in my head~

Kuchiki Byakuya-hime's birthday was 31/1!
Yesterday was an Unbirthday. Smee christened it so. I hope you had a merry Unbirthday! Today is a nice rainy day.
...
I am feeling random.
