"Let's Build Another Tunnel!"
Third Drabble about Musk Wanting to Go Home
“Hello, Elon?”
“Yes, Mr.President.”
“Let’s scrap our plans for the Russian tunnel. Let’s build one from the White House new ballroom and bunker to Mar-a-Lago instead.”
“What?? Why?”
“I want to escape the media. If I move underground they’ll never know where I go. They’ll just never know.”
“Ah, I see. No can do, Mr.President.”
“But why, Elon, why?”
“First, it’s too long, running through the entire country. Will take me decades to complete even with my advanced boring machines. Second, I need to explore space. I wanna go home!”
“Me too, Elon! How about a tunnel to Bedminster then?”

100 words exactly is a Drabble.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Oh I missed the Drabble challenge… Lets hope they both go underground. Loved your Drabble!
This is fun lol
I'm having thoughts of tunnel collapse...
Loving the use of the word "boring" here 😂
😅 Yes! Whatever you do, Elon, take trump with you. Just ask him if he wants to take a ride in your new ship. Then the both of you never come back! I did write one for your challenge. But I don't like it enough to publish yet, lol.
Haha, leave it to Trump to try and change the plans on an alien. He wouldn’t think of the repercussions. And given the history of tunnels in Washington, D.C., I wouldn’t be surprised if this came true, either. Well done.
I am making mine now
I won't be surprised if they used the East Wing to built a tunnel in Washington D.C
Fab Drabble. Oh the challenge! To it Mr Taylor
Hahahahahahahahaha, loved this! Anyway, Elon wanting to go home reminded me of me wanting to go home when I used to be at work 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL! Hilarious, Lana! Now I'm having a bit of difficulty getting it out of my head!
