“What, you ask? Rules? In my class there are no rules. You are here because you want to be.”

“But we’re here to learn different art forms, so there have to be rules.”

“In which case, class dismissed,” he stated as he theatrically swept up his papers.

“Sir!” came a voice. “I think I get you. Hasn’t every famous artist become so because she dared to break at least one rule…say of pointillism or…”

“Correct young lady. You are here to observe, and challenge the status quo, My job is to assess your challenge.

“You are staunch rule breakers. Understood?”

If you’re not already on board with writing drabbles, (short, 100-word stories, no more, no less,) do yourself a favour. Get stuck in! They are a lot of fun to write, but also serve as a lesson in tight writing, given the 100-word constraint.

To anyone who reads my drabbles, thank you. Your support is much appreciated. Also, if you’d like to be tagged, just let me know in the comments.
