Friday Night Drabble Party!

"Its Slow Descent"

Happy February, folks!

We made it through January, always the most dangerous of months. Don’t ask why. You know. Oh, you know…

I kid! Everyone knows it’s March that’s gonna get ya.

Anyhoo, how are you? I hope the new year is being kind. We could all use a little kindness.

Hey! Quick poll!

I’m thinking of doing some #booktok videos on TikTok. Just wanted to know how many of my subscribers pay attention to the ol’ TikTok. I’ll leave the poll up for a week. It’ll be interesting to see the results.

And that’s about it for this week.

Am I forgetting something? Oh, right!

The drabble!

Enjoy!

Cheers!

Its Slow Descent

By

The penny spiraled downward, downward, downward.

Mel watched the coin make its slow descent into the…wherever pennies go in those things.

When it had disappeared down into the hole, and the plastic vortex was silent and empty once more, she sighed.

It was a long, slow sigh. A sigh filled with deep sadness and regret.

Several minutes passed before the moans outside the abandoned shopping mall broke her revery.

Mel stood, grabbed her gear, chambered a round in her M4, and slid into the shadows of the long forgotten church of capitalism.

It was time to move on.

Again…
