Because drabbles are short, please consider staying on this page for at least 30 seconds so your time counts as a read. And while you’re here, a clap, highlight, comment, or all of them is greatly appreciated. It lets me know you were here.

Nancy Oglesby is trying to psych me out, and her plan is working. To make matters worse, she’s blaming Michael John Scott.

Let’s look at her moves.

Spend one year offering daily words. Check.
Spend the same year naming twists. Check.
Get the drabblers hooked on a daily routine and reliable momentum. Check.
Let them bask in their reverie. Check.
Convince Medium to stop paying writers. Check.
Remove the occasional daily word and/or twist. Check.

Next, see who’s made of true grit with a winning, unstoppable human psyche.

Hey everyone, look at us all still standing!!!

Fiction Shorts’ authors rock.

Through all the ups and downs of this platform, I’d like to thank Nancy, the rest of the editors, and all the readers and writers who are keeping this pub…
