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!
Quantum
“I’m going mad,” Ruby said,
glaring at the open science textbook in front of her. “I don’t think anyone can study quantum
physics without losing their minds.”
No one could hear her, of
course. There was no one else in this
desolate section of the library. Not
this late at night.
She tried to picture what
the pieces of paper and the wood of the table looked like at the quantum
level. Then she stopped. She didn’t want her brain to implode.
Shaking her head, she
returned to her reading. Mad or not, she
had an assignment to finish.
I felt that way about some of my classes in college. Maui Jungalow
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's just about powering through!
ReplyDeleteMy brain would've melted at that point.
ReplyDeleteIt took me an embarrassingly long time to realize what the title of "Quantum of Solace" meant.
ReplyDeletePretty much how I feel when I hear the word, quantum.
