Writer's Block: Smoke screen

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I began smoking in 1964, at the age of 13, as a bid for acceptance at the prep school I attended. Six years later, when I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I was able to shake the habit, but not without much difficulty. I was an inveterate smoker, and was up to 3 packs a day, usually of the strongest things I could get my hands on - unfiltered Luckies™, Camels™, Pall Malls™, and - if I could get them - Players™ or Gauloises™. In spite of quitting at a young age, the damage to my still-developing lungs was irreparable.

I owe DS9 an apology.

Of all the successful Trek iterations, this was one I could never get into. (I'm leaving Enterprise out, as it wasn't that successful after the first season.) As I've been taking the time to watch the entire series from the beginning, however, I realize that I have been giving an excellent production short shrift.

I didn't actually see many episodes, and it was largely because SWMBOBNA didn't care for it. So time flowed on, and DS9 passed me by. Now, I'm happy to say that I'm rectifying the situation, and enjoying the adventure thoroughly.

Just last night I watched "House of Quark", and was prompted to create this little bit of whimsy, for no one's pleasure ,but my own. But I'll share it here anyway, just for your gratuitous enjoyemnt.
