Twisted August Random Drabble 230

Challenge for Saturday, August 17th

If you’d like to be a writer for Fiction Shorts and have your stories featured in our magazine-style publication, let me know and I’ll make it happen… as soon as I figure out how. 😂

Our goal for Fiction Shorts has always been to present a publication that attracts readers because of its quality, and writers because of its community.

We know 100 words are not a lot, but please tell a story with a plot, a who, what, when, where, and why. It will help your reader connect if your character has a name. You want your readers to care. This is the challenge.

So, are you ready to play?

The word is the word. The only changes allowed are an ‘-ed’ or ‘-ing’ or an ‘s’. If it’s already one of those things, don’t change it. :)

New words are posted daily at 10 AM CST.

Where to find past words: If you want to write drabbles using past words, you can find them here. I’ve got them back to Day 20 but haven’t found the time to add 1–19. 🫣
