Seems to be the day for challenges, but I think we can fit both RavBoa's and mine, right?
This one's easy, so even if you don't write, you can play. The rules are really simple, actually.
1. Write a drabble: Now, I'm not talking dictionary definition of 'drabble' either. When I was in my twenties, way back before man invented fire, and was involved with the first drabbles in the K/S community, a drabble was a work consisting of only 50 words. Then it got bumped up to 100. In some fandoms, it's 250, in some, 500, and in others, god knows, so no word counting. I don't care if it's ten. Just as long as you write it.
However....
2. It MUST begin with the sentence "I don't want to do this anymore."
It can be about any pairing, or none, but it MUST begin with that sentence. And that's it. The rest is up to you.
As an example, under the cut is my own poor effort.

"I don't want to do this anymore," I think as he reaches into me yet again, liberating yet one more slim sliver of the fullness someone stuffed into me hours ago.
I hear alot of babbling, and alot of laughter, or occasionally, none at all--I think that means something bad has happened--but I don't really pay attention to it because his hands are just so strong and warm as his stubby fingers stroke and caress me.
But then it happens, that thing that I keep hoping won't, but does anyway. After liberating a last sliver, he just flings me away, like yesterday's garbage, like I meant no more to him than those damn rubber bands, or blue/yellow cards, or that stupid mug--did I ever mention I hate that mug? Well I do. He touches it WAY more than me.
And then I'm flying hell bent for leather to land who knows where? Sometimes I knock over a camera. Sometimes I land in some surprised idiot's lap, but most of the time, it's on the floor with the dustbunnies until he has use for me again.
I'm Drew's hat, and I don't want to do this anymore.
See? Wasn't that easy?
Next? *G*
