RANDOM | FICTION | DRABBLE
In a Court of Law
You hear the best excuses
Today’s random word is Jury.

Because drabbles are short, please consider staying on this page for at least 30 seconds. I’d love to know you were here. 💕
“The jury may be seated.”
That’s all I heard before my mind dizzied. I’d never stood in a divine court of law before, so it startled me this was the way into heaven.
If I’d known, I’d have worn my best suit.
Society recognized my policing as heroic; some called me a superhero, but today, the angelic foreperson said they’ve found me guilty. They said I was trigger-happy, but what did they expect?
I lived up to my father’s expectations to be kind. So, when I saw Joe beating on his wife, I shot my pistol, aiming to please.
Remember to visit Fiction Shorts often daily so you don’t miss my daily drabbles and those of other deserving drabblers.
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.
