Drabble: “Lure”
Aheila’s Drabble Challenge is a weekly feature on Aheila’s blog. The aim: to write a 100-word story (a drabble) ± 5 words, based on her prompt. This week the word is “Lure”. Here’s my take:

Lure
The Venus flytrap opens her lips to release a sickly sweet perfume like a mating call. Not all will love it. But those who do will be lured into her clutches the way a witch charms her victims with unbreakable spells.
Shh, her quarry has arrived.
It stands…

Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about.

Drabble: “Race”
Aheila’s Drabble Challenge is a weekly feature on Aheila’s blog. The aim: to write a 100-word story ± 5 words (i.e. a drabble) based on her prompt. This week, the word is “Race”. Here’s my take.

Race
I recoiled as the first blow fell. Then came the onslaught: fists raining down, feet kicking, boys jeering like a mob gone mad.
Taunting, hate-filled…

Tumblr Staff: Running out of Post IDs →
Happy April Fools! Check out this post, it is pretty original, and very very funny!
Y2K might have been made up by the media, but there is another very real limit in computer software: the 32-bit integers that represent most numbers max out at 4,294,967,295. (See this chart for reference)
We never fathomed Tumblr would come close to 4 billion posts, so, unfortunately, our 32-bit Post IDs will probably run out on Sunday.
But we have a plan!
This weekend…
Drabble: “Name”
Aheila’s Drabble Challenge is a weekly feature on Aheila’s blog. The aim: to write a 100-word story (± 5 words) reflecting your personal take on her prompt for that week. After reading Ryan’s masterful efforts, I was inspired! So here’s my take on the prompt “Name”.
——————-
Name
He stood alone, a solitary figure on the bustling platform, untouched by the restless throng around him. She watched him discreetly, like she did every morning. He intrigued her beyond reason.
Suddenly the crowd surged towards the opening doors, pushing her off balance. Strong hands grabbed her shoulders and she found herself staring into a pair of dark, intense eyes. His eyes.
He gently pulled her upright, watching her closely. He didn’t let go.
“T-thanks,” she stammered. He blinked, then briskly turned and walked away.
She stared at the spot where he disappeared into the crowd. She still did not know his name.
