A Short Collection of My Funniest Drabbles
Around mid May I was randomly introduced on Medium to this new concept and challenge called “Drabble”. Drabbles are fiction stories that are exactly 100 word; no more, no less.

Is That All There Is?
Is That All There Is... She was driving. She loved her fast little Mini. She had sprung for the extras...leather, GPS, the different color rear views, and the convertible. Of course the convertible. She loved the sun and it shown far too infrequently where she somehow still lived after all the years spent dreaming of elsewhere. One day she was going to change that as if telling herself over and over would somehow bring it to be. It was her birthday and as she wished for a friend, just one, she realized it was her aloofness that had created the annonymity of her existence and only she was to blame. Maybe it was better this way, she thought as pressed on the accelerator. Speed was fun. It felt good, like she was actually going SOMEwhere instead of NOwhere in life.
