"Library Love"
Once upon a time, in a small town nestled in the heart of the countryside, there was a library. It was a modest building, with brick walls and a slate roof, but it held within its walls a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and imagination. The library was run by a kind and dedicated librarian named Miss Marjorie, who had worked there for more than thirty years.

Hilma and Piet
Are you ever inspired to write something after seeing a work of art for the first time? I dreamt up this story while viewing a new exhibition at Tate Modern in London, where I volunteer as a visitor host. I then sat down in the middle of the gallery, surrounded by paintings, and wrote the story on my iPhone. Since it came to 99 words, I thought I might as well round it up into a drabble by editing the story into its present 100-word form. I was also planning to continue with the dialogue and write a longer story but was interrupted when the exhibition closed for the evening. Looking at these 100 words now, I kind of think this little tale stands up on its own.
