Drabbles are works of fiction of exactly 100 words. No more. No less. Please stay on the page for 30 seconds or more, so the stories are counted as read. Please read, highlight, clap, comment — let us know you’ve been here! Thank you!

“Grandpa, what is the meaning of diggings?” When you are looking for gold and come across a place full of rocks and sand, what do you do? “Uh, you dig? Oh, I dig!”

“Uh, Grandpa, what is the meaning of placer?” Hey, do you want me to do all of your homework? See that big book over there? It’s called a dictionary. Dig into it!

“Just one more question, Grandpa. I promise.” OK, what is it? “What is the meaning of life?” That’s a great question, Johnny! You’ll know the answer when your own grandson asks you that same question!

Here is Nancy Oglesby’s prompt for Day 96 of the Random Word Drabble Challenge on Fiction Shorts:

The inimitable Harry Hogg writes a daily 100-Word Drabble Challenge for Nancy. Here’s his latest.
