Dribbles and Drabbles -
VOLUPTUOUS
Matilda Victoria Fleming, hurt by ridicule and body shaming, dried her eyes and resolved to fight back.

Then she grabbed a wad of tissues and stuffed them inside her bra.
She was now Voluptuous Vicky not Titless Tilly.

MAYDE BYRON TURNER
Yes, you pronounce my name Made.
Yes, it is unusual.
That was down to my mum. Finding herself childless at forty-five and wanting a baby she decided to find a sperm donor. Which she did; Ron Turner.
Her dad, my grandad, was unhappy about that. His biggest concern being that his grandchild would have no idea of its heritage.
But my mum went ahead and conceived a daughter; me.
After my birth she thought about grandad’s concerns and decided that my name would need to reflect some knowledge of my father.
And that is why I’m called Mayde Byron Turner.
This is a drabble of 100 words

FOUL PLAY
The bloodied sequin
Tangled in the victim’s hair
Proved it was murder
