I'm trying to finish three half-drafted pieces (consequence of a scattered workflow amid the local celebrations).
Brain's all over the place, though, so here's a wee activity I sometimes do to sharpen my mind again: drabble challenges!
I need four things:
1) an unusual word (but not too long, for character count reasons);
2) a location (anywhere in time & space);
3) a tone for the story; &
4) a missing item (literal or figurative).
If you'd be so kind, I'll write you a wee toot of a tale. :)
Draconian
Ibiza
Hopeful
Birth certificate
Xavi was tense & his charges noticed. They'd made it to Ibiza: the island's nightlife in the distance. So why tense? But wherever tourists, also police.
"Is ok. We close na?"
Xavi nodded without looking at the men who'd put their trust in him. The handoff to a slaver was near. Just this once, he'd promised himself. Then he'd buy ID in this Draconian system, start over, repent.
A patrol light fell on them.
The men spooked.
But Xavi was surprised by his relief at being caught.
The LLM's not ignoring you! You're missing an "f" in the usertag. :)
