He Didn’t Stand a Chance
A daily drabble challenge
Today’s random word is Hesitate.

Because drabbles are short, please consider staying on this page for at least 30 seconds to count as a read. 💕
“Scott,” Miranda whispered. “I wish you wouldn’t hesitate whenever I need to talk to you. You act like I’m a big scary monster, forcing you to do things you don’t want to do.
Sometimes, talking about our relationship is helpful. Sorting out what’s working can deepen a marriage bond.
Here’s my ask. You need to stop leaving your socks on the floor, help me more with the children, and stop going out so often with your friends.
Scott, can you hear me?
No? Good, you’re drifting. There’s nothing better than subliminal messaging while you’re falling asleep.
It works every time.”
Nancy Oglesby writes, “If you are unfamiliar with a drabble, it is a fiction story of exactly 100 words.”
To make the challenge more interesting, each day, she gives a random word prompt.
Don’t miss out on today’s drabble.
