Today’s random word is orchid; the twist is to write a 100-word drabble.

Ever since I returned home from the hospital, my cat, Snuffy, has had a case of sniffles. It’s surprising for a Siamese to suffer from such a significant malady. I blame it on the orchid.

I suspect that my friend’s well-meaning gift suffers from depression as it hangs its head down low. I watch silly Snuffy bat her drooping bud to and fro.

The vet blames the sneezing on the orchid’s fragrance, but I beg to differ. Just the other day, that darned cat got into my weed. Today, she prances about and acts like she owns the joint.

Remember to visit Fiction Shorts often daily so you don’t miss my daily drabbles and those of other deserving drabblers.

writes, “If you are unfamiliar with a drabble, it is a fiction story of exactly 100 words.” She gives a daily random word prompt to make the challenge more interesting.

Don’t miss out on today’s prompt.
