“Get down on the ground……NOW,” the officer screams.
I watch the officer edge closer, cast my gaze at my surroundings, searching for a way out. Without any warning I bolt for cover, rounding the house at a screaming pace.
Suddenly, I was flying through the air, until I face planted the ground. What felt like a mountain sitting upon my back.
“I am arresting your sorry arse. You’ll get extra time because you tried to resist,” I heard from above me.
“But I was fearing for my life. I’m the victim, not the perpetrator Officer, you have the wrong child!”
I was challenged by Jessica's Quill (Medium Writer) to write a drabble of the word 'resist'.
Wikipedia defines a drabble as follows :
A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space.

Prologue Today's post is short fiction in honor of all the hassled parents trying to keep their angsty teens in line. "Bye mum! I'm not coming home for lunch today. I'll be going to Mac's with Kelvin and his buddies before we head to his house to study for a test." With that, Adam Lim careened like the Flash out of his humble HDB abode.

The Road Of Lost Souls.
I'm walking down a road that doesn't have a name or an ending. I keep walking continuously, and the road I am walking doesn't appear to lead anywhere. I am surrounded by mist and trees, and the roads are damp and muddy. All I can hear is whispers of my name in the trees, and I see faces appear and disappear as they cry in the wind.

Wrong child. Does that mean MC was literally a child or was it just an expression? So then who's the actual perpetrator and why are the police so dumb? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
