Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: My third drabble for today, and my seventh for this challenge. I feel like I’m finally starting to get back into the swing of drabbling after only managing to squeeze out one or two for each of the last few prompts. Admittedly it’s a bit harder now that I’m juggling a bunch of writing challenges, but I love writing drabbles so I’ll find the time somewhere.

Jack, genius that he was, had bought the Fluffs a blackboard and easel, setting it up in their play area. Once he’d managed to persuade little Dizzy that the chalk was NOT for eating, they’d taken to it like… Well, like Fluffs took to most things. That is to say, with a great deal of enthusiasm and mixed results.

They’d drawn wonky pictures over every inch, and when it was covered they’d cleaned it off so they could start again.

Jack looked at the spotless blackboard, then at the mucky, chalk-dust covered Fluffs.

“Board cleaner! I knew I’d forgotten something.”

The End

I wonder how hard it is to clean chalk dust off the floors. I know from experience that cleaning plaster dust from tile floors is not an easy task. I washed that floor so many times and I think the dust was still there when I left for college.

It's less the floors that are bothering Jack, they can be vacuumed, but mucky Fluffs will be a lot harder to deal with.

Thank you!
