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!
Ivy
“How was your camping
trip?” Toby asked, his voice sounding somewhat distant over the phone.
“Okay, you know I love
ivy, right?” How could I not? My name is Ivy. I have ivy tattooed on my arm. Anyone looking at me for the first time could
guess my feelings on the subject of ivy.
“Yes?” Toby asked, his
words tinged with confusion and curiosity.
“I might have to
reevaluate that opinion,” I said bitterly as I scratched at the itchy,
blistered skin on my arm.
“No.”
“Oh, yes. Poison ivy has betrayed my love. No part of me escaped unscathed.”
LOL!

Oh no! How could the ivy turn against its namesake and biggest fan?

ReplyDeleteMy father's mother was named Ivy. Though she would never admit it, I would not be surprised in the slightest to learn that my mother may have at one time or another called her "Poison" Ivy.
