"Writing a story in 100 words is a real skill," the creative writing teacher advised. "It's all about what you include."

Tony stopped listening. These classes really were dull. They weren't teaching him anything that he didn't know already. He'd show them. 100 words? Difficult? Not for him!

Tony joined the queue for coffee. He had class later and the results of the Drabble challenge.

A conversation took place ahead of him.

"There was one. Tony?"

His tutor. Laughing. Talking about Drabbles.

Tony smiled. Praise at last!

"Let's just say he knows how to put the "drab" in Drabble!"
