For
this year’s A to Z Challenge, I’m writing drabbles based on words I got from a
random word generator. A drabble is a
short piece of fiction of exactly 100 words.
Enjoy!
Bleak
“Existence is bleak and
meaningless,” I muttered. “There’s
nothing good in this world.”
My husband cast me a
raised-eyebrow from across the kitchen.
He didn’t look like a ray of sunshine either, but he never does first
thing in the morning. However, his sleepy
eyes and mussed hair couldn’t compare to the dark cloud that had descended upon
me. “Isn’t that a bit overdramatic?”
I shook my head. “No.
The world as I know it is coming to an end.” I lifted the canister from the counter and
held it up for him to see. “We’re out of
coffee.”
LOL - I love it. Caffiene addicts everywhere can relate :)

That's exactly how I feel when I don't have coffee! And since my coffee maker died on me months ago, I've had to switch to drinking only tea for now. It's still caffeine, but it's not quite the same.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read tomorrow's entry!

LOL, my husband feels the same way about catsup. End of the world for sure!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Never heard of a dabble but might have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteHere's a funny thing for you. As I started reading this, I started thinking about coffee - you've definitely mastered the art of suggestion!
ReplyDeleteThe punch line was perfect! =D
