A drabble is a 100-word, short fictional story. It is all about exploring, creating and experimenting.

In the heart of Stockholm, bathed in the ethereal glow of the Northern Lights, Ingrid whispered to Lars, “The sight of you here, beneath the Aurora, is bewitching.”

He grinned, drawing her closer as their breaths mingled in the crisp air.

“There once was a girl from Uppsala,
Whose beauty could rival Valhalla.
Her kiss, deep and slick,
Like a snake’s stealthy trick —
With her, life’s a grand gala.”

“You and your limericks,” Ingrid teased, tracing Lars’ jawline sensuously.

“Only for you, min älskling.”

As lights danced above, their passion flared, crafting a shimmering love story in the Swedish night.
