The Drabble Meme

I'll respond to (at least) the first ten people who request a short piece of fiction on a specific subject or character (and if the character isn't real or familiar, give me some description to work with, please!) with a short story of 100 words (or less).

There is no requirement for you to undertake this meme yourself if you don't want to. There is also no guarantee at all of when I will complete the task.

Looking Back at a Childhood Dream

[binidj.livejournal.com]

As I sit here, slightly less than comfortable in this wipe-clean chair, the smell of week-old urine redolent in the air. I sit here, wherever "here" is and I don't know these people. "Sit here" they say, and their voices are patient, if not especially kind, but I do not know them. "Here" where is "here"?

Perhaps this is some kind of dream; Perhaps I will wake to feel my mother's lips on my brow, see her radiant smile, hear her gentle laughter and smell her perfume? Perhaps. Perhaps.

I wish I could wake up.
