| Sniper Arnold could see the enemy, heavily camouflaged, creeping through the bushes towards his position. The nervous, surreptitious movement of foliage gave the guy away. Arnold barked out a challenge. “Halt! Who goes there?” The enemy froze into immediate immobility. Arnold aimed his rifle carefully at the silent shape. He squeezed the trigger. BANG! The head jerked but then continued to crawl forwards. “You’re dead,” shouted Arnold indignantly. “Missed,” came the answer. “Did not.” “It’s just a flesh wound.” Arnold sighed in frustration. “If you’re going to argue every time you get shot, I’ll find someone else to play with, Jimmy.” Word count: 100 For Drabble Activity 2024, Week 10 Prompt: Write a drabble that is a story (so it has a beginning, middle and end, and a conflict) and a work of fiction (so not a memoir or true tale). |
| Literary Frippery I remember H Rider Haggard, in the sixties thought a blackguard for writing books that were fun, as if that should never be done. I considered then the voice of that Irishman James Joyce, but most of Finnegan’s Wake was so dense it made my mind ache. I found refuge in Sir Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes and Doc Watson his foil ; George Orwell kept me from harm with his tale of the Animal Farm. But best of them all was Lewis. sharp, clear, never tortuous, and, though you will think me balmier, I am happy to be here in Narnia. Word count: 100 For Drabble Activity 2024, Week 9 Prompt: A rhyming poem of 100 words. |
