30 Days of Write: January 3rd

Drabble (Not Including Title or Assignment

According to the Wikipedia: drabble is an extremely short work of fiction of exactly one hundred words in length, not necessarily including the title. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in an extremely confined space.Read more about this fascinating beast here. Also, we're doing the 100 drabble, not the 55.

So pick one of the topics and get to it!

It was that skirt of hers that made him smile--physical cellophane Christmas bows covered the thin gauze liner; they were hot-glued on like some sort of Pinterest project gone wrong. Jim thought it was shiny, yet not quite. The dress showed her undergarments. He’d never seen Christine outside the law office before and here she was plastered, hanging on to her friends to steady her gait, to give her a pace to keep up with.

Jim snapped one photo, labeled it “Christine”, and emailed it to himself. Mission complete. He would be storing this one away for further use.
