A Drabble is a 100-word short fictional story. You just gotta ramble with words and form a nice intriguing plot.

Word of the day: Horn

“Rami, do you see that bull standing in the arena?” Jennifer said, staring at it continuously.

“Yes, madam. That is France’s finest and rarest bull.”

“You know what to do, right? Don’t ya?” Her words flowed like the Seine, confusing Rami.

This lady wanted to display the bull’s horn as an heirloom at her lavish mansion.

“If you don’t bring the thing I said, you’re doomed.” Jennifer’s cruel words cut Rami’s heart.

He didn’t oblige, as his heart bled for that bull.

“You are dead.” Jennifer shot him point blank.

Rami sacrificed his life for the greater good of humanity.

The story is inspired by Jessica's Quill drabble drop challenge and its associated word, “horn.”
