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!
Shadow
“No one said causing the
apocalypse would be easy,” The Shadow whispered.
Scarlett shook her head. The Shadow had been visiting her entire life,
delivering messages into her impressionable ear. “If this is what I was born to do, why should
it be hard?”
“Fulfilling your destiny
is never easy,” The Shadow replied. “If
you never struggle, you can never take pride in your work.”
She sighed. Empathy certainly made her hesitant to bring
about the end of the world. The idea of
failure also kept her from refusing to do so altogether. What was a teenage girl to do?
Liked your A to Z theme for this year a lot! ...
ReplyDeleteWow! Pressure, much? Wonder what would happen if she refused?
ReplyDeleteTo be or not to be... Eternal fight between the fair and darker sides of the personality really tatters the soul!
ReplyDeleteInteresting read!

That sounds like a story in the making.

Scarlett is a good name for a villainess. I wonder how she's going to destroy the world...
