Drabbles, weird short stories, and other cheap drivel

I'm a terrible writer. You don't have to take the time to tell me. I know. Quality? I write without that! But quantity? Darlin', I’ve got that in spades.

Hmmm, so how can I write more crap in even less time to annoy everyone on Lemmy? This comm will mostly be Drabbles, which are tiny stories that are exactly 100 words. Not 99. Not 101. One hundred. Like a hitman with a word count contract. (Which I've broken in this sidebar.)

A few other flash fiction and weird-ass short short stories may be posted as well.

These are pulp shots fired straight from my brain. No filter, no brakes, no shame.

Love 'em? Hate 'em? Doesn’t matter, because I’m posting them anyway.

Read fast. They bite.

Whatever Happened to Edna? (written by Universal Monk)

The kettle screamed, but Edna hadn’t turned on the stove.

She shuffled down the narrow hallway, slippers scuffing the wood, arthritis biting every joint. The lights flickered. A door slammed upstairs. Then another.

"Quit that racket," she muttered, voice thin but stern.

A low growl rolled through the walls.

"I said stop it!" she snapped.

Silence fell. Then every cabinet in the kitchen burst open at once, plates flying out like startled birds.

“You nasty thing,” she hissed, squaring her shoulders. “I buried you in ’47!”

The hallway mirror cracked.

And from behind her, something whispered, “Now you’re joining me.”
