Drabble Day – Plan

Aheïla — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:45:23 +0000

Hello! Remember how it works? Read the prompt and find your angle. Write a drabble (100 words story, give or take five words). Post a direct link to your drabble in the comments (or, if you don’t have a blog, just go ahead and post your drabble in the comments). In the post on your blog, make sure […]

Drabble Day – Absence

Aheïla — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:20:42 +0000

Hello! Sorry I disappeared on you last week. My sick leave from work was extended and I have quite a few things to sort out, both in my head and in paperwork. A lot is going on these days. Remember how it works? Read the prompt and find your angle. Write a drabble (100 words story, […]

Sprout – A Drabble

Halley walked a few paces ahead of Jake, so she saw the break in the desert’s sands first. “What’s that?” “Green thingy on our path?” Halley frowned. “I wonder how it got there?” “If we can eat it, why care?” “Enough with the rhyming!” Halley barked. “Doesn’t seem nourishing.” Jake shrugged and reached for the […]

Strings of Retaliation – 19b – Escape

<< Previous My relationship with the FBI taught me one valuable thing: no matter how hard both party tried, a double agent never completely trusted the organizations he worked for. Too many secrets were built into the relationship. It didn’t take much to tip a working alliance over to paranoia, and turn presumed allies into […]

Hello everyone, Today, I have the pleasure to host a guest post by the lovely Anne C Michaud, a fellow Québécoise who, like me, chose to write in English. She’s stopping here as part of her blog tour for Girls & Monsters, a collection of five YA dark but uplifting novellas. Without further ado, here’s Anne’s story […]

Zombie – A Drabble

Aheïla — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:38:13 +0000

I threatened my life on a daily basis. I went to bed too late, woke up in a rush and suffered from the resulting head bumps and coffee spills. One morning a week, I topped off the danger list with a misstep in the subway stairs or a near miss with a moving vehicle. My […]

Strings of Retaliation – 19a – Escape

<< Previous Men never dealt well with hysterical women. In the Victorian era, they locked us up in insane asylum for the slightest fit. Fast high-pitched speech, shallow breaths combined with hands and arms fluttering remained a great tool to shorten unwanted discussion with men. I used them profusely and was kicked out of the […]

Drabble Day – Zombie

Aheïla — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:00:21 +0000

Hello! As you may have noticed by my post yesterday, writing is back on my schedule! I won’t be catching up on the last drabble days, but I’m back for this one. And because I spent my Sunday afternoon helping a friend figuring out the plot of her zombie novel, today’s theme is a no […]

Strings of Retaliation – 18b – Bullet

<< Previous Vexx’s reaction to my plan worried me. He was… giddy? Maybe my feelings regarding Saskia’s situation skewed my perception or at least worsened them. But he was excited, and I couldn’t tell if that was because we were flipping a finger to the FBI and MerriTech in one fell swoop, or because he […]
