A Drabble is a story of exactly 100 words. No more, no less.

They scream, “Bring Them Home Now!”

I agree.

Bring them all home. Those behinds bars unjustly. Those buried under the rubble. Those who can’t even haunt their own streets as the street is gone. Dust. Ashes.

Ethnic cleansing is successful when a benighted nation is run by a tyrant.

To them, the solution is erasure. Eradication.

A nightmare cooked up by scared little politicians that suck on missile fins before throwing them violently to the ground. Their asses getting rashes. Their heads getting too big with power. All stink air in there.

Will home even be there to return to?

From the River to the Sea, let them come home and live free.

I want to note that though a Drabble is fiction usually, I wrote this as there are still folks who think what’s going on is fictitious. Yet, it is truly real. Genocide is happening, and there is not enough being done to stop Isra*l from continuing to massacre Palestinians. But hey, maybe the only way folks will understand this is through a “tale”.
