After writing hundreds of drabbles (100-word stories) last year, my output has decreased somewhat as I focus on longer fiction. However, I still do write the occasional drabble. Here's my latest. Enjoy!
Maureen Goes Topical
Outside, the sun was shining. Inside, the summery atmosphere was conveyed largely by Cliff Richard on the stereo telling Maureen that they were all going on a seasonal vacation. She hummed along as she shined her cut glass wedding sherry schooners to their maximum sparkle. Adjusted a bottle here, brought one forward there. Ensured all the labels faced the same way and arranged the bottles in ascending size order. Aesthetically pleasing was the look she was aiming for. As she worked, she sampled each liquor, just to ensure it was potable, you understand. Oh, how she loved her cabinet reshuffle.
