The Drabble File

by WildMeiLing

I've been in the mood to write, but my muse's attention span has been pretty short lately. So here is our compromise: a haphazard collection of teeny stories. Most are one-hundred words; most are Clarisse and Joseph. They're posted in the order I wrote them, with no respect to any kind of timeline. Includes Mia and Rupert. *CHAPTER 15 added.*

10. Chapter 10-Poolside, first version

"Poolside" - first version

"Come on, Mama."

"Yes, do it."

She stood at the edge of the pool, debating. She was in her swimsuit, but finally dry again, a sarong wrapped around her waist.

"Please? Come on in, Mama?" her older son pleaded courteously.

"Do it. Do it!"

Her younger son's chant was becoming slightly annoying. She started to say something when she noticed he was looking over her shoulder.

He wasn't talking to her.

"Do. It."

She looked back, and was startled. "Rupert!" She gasped as comprehension dawned. "You wouldn't -!"

SPLASH!
