Read orignial short stories--a new one every day!

Accord drabble-a-thon. What is it? 100 drabbles in 100 days, written to raise funds and awareness for a free hospice in Scotland.

A drabble--a term coined from a Monty Python's 1971 "Big Red Book," is a complete story or essay, written in exactly 100 words. (Though some people now include that term for stories from 50 to 1000 words.)

From 22nd July, to 29th October, one 100-word, totally original drabble, written solely by me, will be posted on my Drabble-a-thon blog page--each story written--and posted immediately, each and every day--no stories written in advance.

DAY 69 STORY #69 Bill's Narrow Escape The pony galloped full-tilt through sand and sage brush. Its rider bent low in the saddle, an old Army revolver blazing, as arrows whizzed all around him. Buffalo Bill Cody was going to get the mail through, or die trying. Suddenly, Bill had an idea. Sliding the pony to a stop, he turned around. Quickly re-loading the pistol in his hand, he pulled a second pistol from under his shirt. Putting the reins in ... Read Full Story

Accord Hospice Drabble-a-thon Story #51

Written by playwrite27 on
Accord Hospice website: www.accord.org.uk J ustgiving sponsorship page : www.justgiving.com/nbgolash DAY 51 STORY # 51 The Battle of Verity Gap George kept down, lying in the mud of a shell hole. The bullets were flying overhead, so thick; they actually were stripping the bark from the trees. “Fire that rifle, soldier!” The lieutenant shouted. But there was nothing to fire at---everyone was wisely keeping his head down--except certain young officers. The lieutenant went down, shot through the head. Just then, George spied a woman in black, riding hell-bent across the battlefield. The bullets slowly ceased, as she leaped off her horse, and cradled a ... Read Full Story

Accord Hospice Drabble-a-thon: 30th Day

Written by playwrite27 on
Well, i It will have been 30 days of stories, in just a wee bit over an hour. It's been interesting. I'm hoping that the stories aren't too repetitive for my readers. Please feel free to add your comments-good or bad. While I still have a need for sponsors, I do understand that most people have already donated to the many fine efforts on several of the Dr Who fan-sites, which is really awesome, I think--I read that over 5000 pounds (over $10,000) have been raised, which is amazing! www.accord.org.uk DAY 30 STORY #30 Found at Sea High on a cliff, the wind blew ...
