Since the start of the year, I’ve taken on the fun challenge of crafting drabbles — TINY TALES — 100-word stories with a punch. Each day, a random word is generated by Fiction Shorts, and I squeeze a full narrative, twist and all, into a space smaller than a tweet. It’s like fitting an elephant into a teacup, but with words — a great exercise for creativity!
