Kaje Harper | 17377 comments So here's the challenge : write exactly 100 words, no more and no less, about this picture. Evoke a mood, tell a joke, make it a poem... Anything you like.

100 words. A drabble of Flash Fiction.

Please mark your drabble with #1 or *1 (or a bold-letter title - those words don't count in the 100) or something in the first line so we can easily tell a Drabble from the comments. I'll link them as usual below.

Have fun. Don't worry about polish. Drabble away.

His Oberon was perfect - British accent, each consonant clear as glass, each vowel rounded – I could've drowned in the liquid chocolate sound of his voice. And tonight, finally, it was my turn to be beside him.

Thank goodness for food poisoning. Also for a month of watching from the wings, practicing, because when I stared into Sylvester's face my brain melted. Reflexes saved me.

When the curtain fell, I waited, not moving.

Then he said, in flat, drawling Midwestern tones, “Hey, wanna go for beer?”

Old dreams died... but the new ones might be even better. “Sure,” I said.

“Where's your shirt?” Akryn asked, his voice dark and demanding.

“In a ditch, soaked in blood,” I said with a shrug.

“They'll try again.”

He still wouldn't look at me.

“I'm ready.”

Akryn stayed quiet. I reached for his hand.

“I am,” I said more firmly. “You know I am.”

My fingers brushed his.

“They're strong, Dreyz.”

His thumb wound around mine.

“I'm stronger,” I insisted, knowing he would eventually give in and let me fight.

I wouldn't leave his side.

His voice was cold, his eyes dangerous when our gazes finally met.

“Don't you dare die on me.”

“Never.”

Thank you, Kaje! :) I'd love to write more but I just know I'll never finish it. It's so hard to stick with a story :/

Sometimes it's fun to just throw bits out there. Sometime you'll hit one that won't let you stop, and that's the story you'll write.
