DRABBLE | SATIRE | PROM | SPRING
People are different. But the same…
A Drabble is a short story of exactly 100 words. Everywhere you look.
They’re at the fitting, and he sees the price tag,
and says, “A bourgeoisie celebration for offspring
with prepaid futures.”
She rolls her eyes. He presses on:
“We aren’t like them. We don’t have to pretend we’re
sending our child to a coming out ball…”
“FFS, John,” she says, “I swear if you sprout
any of this nonsense when she comes into the room…”
But she’s interrupted by their daughter’s entrance.
And the father says: “Oh princess, you are sooo beautiful.”
And the mother cries, speechless.
And then they all hug.
But not too tightly, ’cause, you know, the dress.
