I spend hours watching things fall from the sky. They inspire me when my canvas doesn’t.
The sun starts somewhere up there and eventually races down to collide with the ground in front of my basement’s west-facing window. High heels and sneakers do the same; hitting the ground in an intertwined mess before shattering to go their separate ways.
A flower box bleeds dirt.
Today, I won’t create something out of the rain.
Partly because the butter of the popcorn makes it hard to hold a brush.
The computer screen called for it and the items coming after don’t disappoint.
This is my story for this prompt.

*laughs* Popcorn! Good stuff…especially smartfood popcorn…yum! The visuals are fantastic in this tale. And I really like your words choices “The sun starts somewhere up there…”

Loved this Aheila, you created something incredibly provocative with only 100 words. How are you doing these days friend? It seems like a while since I paid your blog a wee visit with how hectic my life has been the last few months.

Hello Andrew!
It’s good to see you back here. I hope the chaos in your life sorts itself out soon.
As for me, work is pretty demanding these days but we’re putting processes in place to ease it on everybody. This causes me to write less than I want too though. Besides that, all is good!
Glad you like the drabble!
