Spoilers: None
Summary: Rift alerts sometimes create more questions than answers.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: This is about as unidentified as I could get!
“What the hell are they?” Ianto gasped, ducking as another whizzed past his ear.
“No idea,” Jack replied. “They’re moving too fast, all I see is a blur!” Throwing himself to the ground as three more zoomed past, narrowly missing his head, he tugged at Ianto’s trouser leg. “Come on, it’s safer by the wall.”
Dropping to hands and knees, Ianto joined Jack, crawling quickly across the warehouse until they reached the wall.
“Now what?”
Jack shrugged.
They watched bright blurs zipping back and forth at alarming speeds until…
PING
They vanished.
“Huh. Now we’ll never know.”
“Another Torchwood mystery!”
The End

Thank you =)

Thank you!
lol I know, I know!

or , the same kind, version of mosquito; in any case, I had it on my first computer, a game defined by a square, inside there was a "mosquito" (in any case the noise he made like this beast.) the goal was to get pinched by reducing the area of travel.

It seems to be working again now so I am trying to catch up with reading and commenting on the last few days worth of stuff :-)

Oooh, if LJ stays up I muight be able to post a new drabble! I wrote one yesterday, and I'm hoping to get another out of the prompt!
