Telling a story in only 100 words takes imagination. Such is the challenge of the 100 word Drabble. I hope you enjoy my 100-word entry using today’s word, objects.
I watch him fill his toolbox with objects of my desire. Shiny devices of chrome and steel.

“Okay Dad,” I reply. “I’m sorry. I’ll wait.”
