Dribbles and Drabbles -
PARTY GIRL
The sunshine poked its way through the blinds pricking Beckie’s eyelids urging her to wake up.
As she surfaced, Beckie became aware of another body alongside. Memories of the previous night streamed in.
Smiling she rolled over to kiss her new love. Then screamed.
This was Nigel. Where was Sophie?
This is a dribble of 50 words
VACATION PREPARATION
Cora sat, pen in hand, gazing into space remembering past holidays and contemplating their impending cruise.
‘Hurry up with those forms,’ snapped Ralph.
Jolted from her reverie Cora stared at her husband. What had happened to the fun loving, Adonis she had married? Was he trapped somewhere in that grumpy, bloated body or was he lost forever?
Then she looked back down at the form and noted she had only filled in name and address.
Sex was the next question. After ticking the box marked female Cora once more stared at Ralph then added: Yes please, but not with Ralph.
This is a drabble of 100 words
HAIKUS -
The haiku is a Japanese poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. Jacqueline has used this form to create stories (nano-fiction).
