A Drabble is a work of fiction that is exactly 100 words. No More. No Less.

Because drabbles are short, please consider staying on this page for at least 30 seconds. I’d love to know you were here. I would love to receive your claps or comments if you enjoyed the read!

Billy, the Portmanteau Kid, booked a staycation at a spangly motel where he witnessed a televangelist filming a mockumentary about netiquette on the metaverse.

Brimming with fruity mocktails, Billy decided to inspectigate.

What a mashionista?” he chuckled pointing at the Reverend’s fancy spants.

“It’s a dramady!” said the cameraman “His budding bromance just bombed.”

“Chillax” Billy said. “Join me for brunch later if you get hangry.”

So they did.

The barman’s guesstimate was that they drank their weight in champale.

“Who is this moderation everyone keeps telling me to drink with?” moaned Billy the next day, nursing a ginormous hangover.
