[drabble] A Ferengi Horror Story
Because someone said you can’t start a horror story in Quark’s bar with “It was a dark and stormy night” :)
It was a dark and stormy night inside Quark’s bar. One of the main pipes had burst and in doing so it had taken out one of the main electrical subsystems. Rom’s attempt to fix it until Chief O'Brien’s emergency crew could arrive were of little effect and left and right wet patrons were demanding refunds and reimbursement for their “ruined’ clothing. By Quark’s estimation the damage could reach nearly a thousand bars of gold pressed latinum if the water and electrical fires didn’t cease.
And it was then, as the last lights finally flickered out that he hear the whispered words in a hush of the pitch black bar that every Ferengi businessman dreads: Workman’s comp.
