Strutting Her Stuff
Drabble Drop : Sassy
Swirling in front of the mirror, loving the swish of her skirt as it seductively ruffles around her knees.
At just four foot tall, she pines for a little more height. Petite is fine, but short is a nightmare when it comes to fashion.
All her life she’s been teased and bullied over her height, developing a pure hatred of short.
Tonight she has an important date with a man she’s had a crush on for months and she knows she looks good.
Lastly, she steps into her new sassy high heels to give her confidence that much needed boost.
I was challenged to write a drabble of the word ‘sassy'.
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.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

A Precis in Abridgement
i have become a sojourner in this multi-dimensional world of virtue and temptation and within which a floral garden flourishes...life is wonderful, for here, beauty thrives ...untamed and free...gentle golden butterflies flitter with each breath sweetly taken...cleansing gasps greet the lungs with the purest of oxygenated bliss...

The Unveiled Truth
Once upon a time, in a quaint little village nestled between rolling hills and whispering forests, there lived a young girl named Lily. She was known for her curious eyes that sparkled like dewdrops on a fresh morning, and her heart was as pure as the morning breeze that caressed the meadows. But behind her cheerful facade lay a hidden truth, buried deep within the crevices of her soul.

I'm the opposite of her. I'm too tall for a girl and often got bullied for that 😅 Loved your drabble!
