[badly_knitted]

This week's challenge is

Crisis

Rules reminder:

--- All stories must be 100 words long. Double drabbles are also permitted.
--- Please place your story behind a cut; the comm's flist will love you.
--- If requested, you must use the challenge word or phrase in your story; feel free to interpret that creatively.
--- Please use the challenge tag "crisis 911" plus any character tags.
--- The best way to tag, either when adding or editing your post, is to click on the 'select' icon immediately to the right of the 'tag' box, and then click on all the tags you want to use.
--- If there isn't a tag for the character or situation you're writing, or there's any other problems, let me know and I will wrangle them.

I see what you did there. Ha ha, clever!

It seemed sort of inevitable, lol! Of course, now I don't know what I'll be able to pick for 999 (the British emergency number).

Have we used the prompt emergency yet? If not maybe we should save it up!
I won't have to worry as our emergency number is 000!

Yes, that was 843 and if I'd been thinking way back then I would have picked something else (I made myself an alphabetical list for ease of choosing prompts. I can email you a copy if it would help).
