Caption: A Drabble A 100-word story. Alarmed. A picture of a vintage typewriter with text on a sheet of paper which reads as follows: ‘Wha…’, he thought. Stretching, he scanned the room: his cozy blue jumper, slippers, the hideous, curtains his wife made gently flapped as the wind howled outside, and the bedside-clock reading 6.58 in angry red text. ‘Shiiiiiittttt!’ Startling his cat, he leapt out of bed, eyes half-closed and sleep-filled still, stumbled to the bathroom, thinking ‘pee first, then coffee’, recalculating his work before that bloody deadline. It wouldn’t be his finest work, but it would be sufficient. ‘Checking my alarm at 2.30 in the morning did me a fat lot of good, eh?’, he laughed at himself through his toothpaste grin.
A #Drabble a day keeps the blues away... or something like that.
