Theme: No one is paying attention

I thought I would post a few drabbles to get started. For those who don't know, a drabble is an extremely short story that is exactly 100 words long.

This was posted at 100 Word Stories last year, and I thought I would put it up on my own blog while I am struck down with nothing much to write...


The substitute teacher

The cacophony caused by a small room stuffed with pre-pubescent children was similar to the sound of a flock of squabbling seagulls. Miss, as she was known since none of the children would bother to remember her name, had long given up trying to be heard. She sat on her chair at the front of the room reading a tattered book while objects flew across the room. The bell rang followed by the strange silence of an empty room. ‘How did it go?’ she was asked, ‘Horrible’ she replied ‘no one is paying attention… and my book is falling apart’.

New beginnings

Do I really need another blog? Possibly.

This one is for my writing, and mainly so I don't expose my friends needlessly to my prose. Of course if they visit this site of their own volition, any pain or suffering encountered is entirely self inflicted. This is for me to post my attempts at short stories etc...
