Word-of-the-Day prompt: Gibbosity

Definition: the state of being hunchbacked

Quick summary: Teenage Tigerclaw in the criminal underworld. You do what you have to to survive.


Tigerclaw looked down at his prey from the rooftops, and old begging man, struck with gibbosity. The teen cringed slightly at the thought of robbing someone so helpless, but soon shook it off. This was the only way he could survive in the cruel world in which he lived; especially someone like him.

Living in the criminal underbelly of the city, Tigerclaw learned that it was eat or be eaten; and you did whatever you had to to survive. If that meant robbing an old hunchback of his dinner, then so be it. So he took a breath, and jumped.


Because boredom, and lack of inspiration on other stories. Also, I don't think there's enough Tigerclaw on this site. So, I found a word-of-the-day and used it to write a 100 word Tigerclaw drabble. So, R&R, more than likely until next chapter, I think I like this idea.
