RANDOM | FICTION | DRABBLE
Who Lurks in the Night?
A daily drabble challenge.
Today’s random word is Industrial.
Because drabbles are short, please consider staying on this page for at least 30 seconds to count as a read. 💕
The cleaning product warned of safety concerns. Stacey knew enough not to drink the industrial cleaner, but little else.
She wasn’t at home this evening. Instead, she was far into the woods, staying in a cabin, and taxed with the duty of cleaning an outhouse as part of her new job’s initiation.
Who knew becoming a stockbroker could be this hard, or stinky?
As she opened the cleanser, the fumes consumed her, and she fell to the floor.
When she awoke, Stacey didn’t know how she got tied to the tree, naked and bloody.
The vultures knew, while they circled.
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.
If you’re looking for this month’s prompts, Fiction Short’s got you covered.
