  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Okay, so Heyes and I have been having a good time with the Party each week. So why aren’t you?

    What is it gonna take to get y’all involved? A contest? Or, I guess, I should probably promote the Party better. That could be it. Give me your feedback, folks. Let me know what you’d like to see with the Friday Night Drabble Party that would entice you to participate. I hate to hog all the Party, yo!

    But, that aside, let’s move on to tonight’s drabble. You know how it works. Read it below and then add your part in the comments section. Don’t forget to double check your word count!

    Enjoy!

    Not A Happy Man
    By
    Jake Bible

    Carrington Belmont was not a happy man.
    He didn’t love his job, his wife, his car, or even his dog.
    Carrington would just stare and stare at his work for hours, going through the required motions of  feigned normalcy.
    So Carrington decided to end it all, that life was no longer worth living.
    Unfortunately for the rest of the humanity, Carrington was a microbiologist.
    And not a very good one.
    So when Carrington’s Folly wiped out half the world, he was pretty disappointed.
    Especially since he had an unknown immunity to the virus.
    Carrington Belmont was not a happy man.

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Ok, folks. It appears the Party consists of myself and Heyes. Not that that is a problem. The guy can write!

    So, if you think you can write (I call dibs on that as the next breakout reality show!) then get your wordy words down in the comments section tonight! DO IT!

    Enjoy!

    Serial Rookie

    “When it makes a promise it must keep the promise,” the man outside the cage insisted. “Or if it does not keep the promise then the promise it has been told will happen.”
    Carl just stood there, his hands on the iron bars, his eyebrows raised. “I have no idea what you are saying.”
    The man outside the cage sighed and then started again, but Carl quickly interrupted him. “No, I heard you. I just have no idea why you are saying that.”
    The man outside the cage looked at his notes. “OK, let’s try this. It puts the lotion…”

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Another Friday be here, yes. Another party be in full swing, I say!

    This week I will do something different. It has been suggested that I post the Drabble in the body of the post instead of as a separate PDF. So I am going to give that a whirl tonight!

    Please let me know if this works better for y’all. I aim to please, ya know.

    This does mean that the comments section tonight is for comment on the new format AND so you can add your 100 words worth. You know how I like it when y’all play along. So far there’ve only been a couple of players with the Drabbles, but a small party is still a Party!

    Have a read below and if you are inspired to add to the story, take a related tangent, create something new that follows the spirit, what have you, then please do! It is a Party after all.

    Enjoy!

    We Always Do

    Of the Weeping Time we know. Of the Horror of Banford we know. Of the Call to All That Came Before we know.

    So I sit upon my chair –the hardbacked one with the spent spring in the seat- and stare at the Fog as it crawls from the harbor, up the street, through the alley, and to my window.

    Of the Fog we do not know. But we will learn.

    We always do.

    And those that remember, those that are left?

    We shall write about it; tell tales by firelight; sing sad ballads in the pub.

    We always do.

    So what did you think of having those words right there in your face? I kinda like it. Let me know.

    Cheers!
