beer_good_foamy31! I did it! 31 characters in 31 days. Some I'm very pleased with. Some I've never written before. Some I'll probably write again.
Oh well, here's the last one. Fittingly, it's William the Bloody Awful Poet. One sillyish, one weird stream-of-consciousness-thingy.
Title: Five Things Spike Did That Eventually Got Him Barred From CBGBs

Timeline: late 70s
Warning: Music geekery, drug use.

Kept bugging Debbie Harry for bleaching tips. Apologized by co-writing "Rip Her To Shreds", but too late.
Tried to eat Richard Hell, who had just shot up and managed to fight off a suddenly very drowsy Spike at the cost of his shirt. Spike still claims the punk look is his doing.
Wouldn't stop ranting about the Dead Boys being fucking poseurs.
Vamped Iggy Pop. Got upset when nobody noticed. Including Iggy.
People kept asking rookie DJs to play some Barry Manilow, just to see the expression on Spike's face. He didn't kill them, but sometimes the crowd almost did.

He had something. What was it? Big, growly, two wheels. Carried him for a while. Ran out of... Can't remember. Wasn't invented when he was... Gone now. Walks on his own now. Thirsts.
Sometimes forgets the sun. Rises behind him in the East, punishes, chars his skin. Unworthy. Hides. Dreams darkness in the daylight, 122 years compressed into hours. Voices in his head, hundreds, one, screaming, whimpering. "Please Spike please don't..." Laughing. Crying.
Sun sets in the West. Chases the spark, the disappearing glow every night, voices getting louder, world getting darker. Sunbeams like golden hair, just out of reach.
Also, in case anyone missed it inbetween all these little posts, I also posted a couple of non-drabbles during January:
Wow (Femslash fun with Willow, Tara, Buffy and Faith during "Who Are You", oneshot)
Elves, Gremlins and Eskimoes (Angel s5/Simpsons crossover, 1 chapter so far and more to come)
