114553 A Drabble Drabble

This old guy leans over me as I’m working in my local library. He smells of beer and wet leaves. “What are you doing, buddy?”

“Writing a drabble.”

“A what?”

“It’s a hundred-word story.”

“Oh.”

He looks confused. “What’s the point?”

“Writing?”

“No – dribbles.”

“Drabbles,” I correct. “It’s fun writing them.”

“Whatever,” he says. His rheumy eyes stare at my computer. “Do you count all the words as you go?”

“Yeah – sometimes. Sometimes I check after and cut down.”

“Seems like wasting time,” he says, and wanders off.

I shake my head.

They really shouldn’t let politicians visit.
