100wordsTitle: Just like threading a needle
Fandom: Biggles - WE Johns
Rating: Gen
Notes: Biggles & Algy have a close call.
“See, I told you, Algy. It was easy.”
“Easy? How in heaven’s name was that easy? Biggles, we barely escaped with our lives!”
“Nonsense. I knew what I was doing the whole time.”
“We were lucky, you mean.”
“Skill, old thing. Skill, resolve, pluck. It was just like a master tailor threading a needle”
Biggles stood, ever grinning and cocksure, while the aircraft from which they’d ejected smoldered in the background. Sirens could be heard in the distance, growing louder.
“Biggles, if that is threading the needle, remind me never to entrust my socks in want of darning to you!”
