My Deal Me In deck turned up hearts, which means I got to read one of Alicia Butcher Ehrhardt’s Drabbles (stories of exactly 100 words). Alicia is the author of one of my favorite books of all time, Pride’s Children: Purgatory. It’s the first in a trilogy–so far, the only one–but it’s great enough to stand alone.

OMG. The story of a living nightmare. A cautionary tale. I am never sleeping again.
If YOU need a short story to read, I have free ones here on my Free Reads page. I also have four collections for 99 cents each linked from my Short Stories page.

Drabbles are a perfect vehicle for those little ones.
