Since drabbles are brief, I’d appreciate it if you could hang around on this page for at least 30 seconds to count it as a read. If you feel like giving a round of applause, highlighting, or dropping a comment, that would be the perfect finishing touch. 💕

“What if you never found that old journal?” Lena mused, her eyes scanning the ancient text. She and Mateo sat in a dimly lit café, surrounded by the whispers of history.

Mateo stirred his coffee thoughtfully. “We wouldn’t have known about the hidden chamber,” he said, tracing the inked map with his finger.

Lena’s heart raced with anticipation. “Could it be real?”

“Only one way to find out,” Mateo grinned, a spark of adventure in his eyes.

Armed with newfound information, they set off, chasing shadows of the past through Dubrovnik’s winding streets, unraveling mysteries that time had almost forgotten.

Nancy Oglesby writes, “If you are unfamiliar with a drabble, it is a fiction story of exactly 100 words.”

To make the challenge more interesting, each day, she gives a random word prompt.

I enjoy getting lost in a good book, spend time with my cats, admire the beauty of the natural world, and appreciate the creativity of the art world.
