FICTION | DRABBLE WRITING PROMPT | RANDOM WORD

The Greatest of All Time

Everywhere but home

Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston — Wikicommons Public Domain — Adapted by the author.

Random Word Drabble Challenge Day 54 Word Is Champ.

Since drabbles are so short, please remain on the page for at least 30 seconds.

“It’s nice to be home, Ma. Are you gonna cook some of your world-famous fried chicken?”

“A course, I am, son. Take dis beer into your pa while I cook.”

“Here’s a beer, Pa...”

“Did you get a job yet? You shoulda gone in the Army — at least it’s a paycheck. So, still think you’re gonna be the champ?”

“I am boxing’s Heavyweight Champion of the World.”

“Nah, ya ain’t. We might not get TV out this far, but I do read the newspaper. And I know dat fella Muhammad Ali is the Heavyweight Champion of the World, Cassius.”

The slang and incorrect spelling were planned and essential to the story.

Leave a comment, highlight something that interests you, and clap if you liked it.

A drabble is exactly 100 words, no more, no less. In this case, the random word to build the story around is “champ.”

Thanks to Nancy Oglesby and Fiction Shorts for the daily challenge.
