Dribbles and Drabbles -

SHARON 

Sharon peeked out of the staff-room window.

‘Still there?’ enquired Sarah.

Sharon nodded.

‘Problem?’ asked the sports master.

Sharon nodded.

‘With that weirdo hanging about outside? I’ll soon sort him.’

Sharon glared sat him, ‘’that weirdo’ is my autistic son who I’m trying to get to walk home without me.’

EARLY MORNING WAKE UP CALL

Rosalie crept into the bedroom bearing a mug of tea.

She didn’t normally wake Neil this way but he’d said he needed an early start for an important meeting and if things worked out it would mean a hefty bonus.

Mornings were not Neil’s best time so she gently shook his shoulder and whispered, ‘Tea’s up.’

‘Thanks,’ he mumbled and rolled over to the empty side of the bed, ‘now come back for a quickie’.

Rosalie laughed, ‘You’ve no time. Drink your tea’.

‘Thanks Patty’, he said.

And that was how he ended up in A&E with a scalded penis.

 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).

Her solution was

To remove her hearing aids

And not hear his cries
