Drabbles, weird short stories, and other cheap drivel

I'm a terrible writer. You don't have to take the time to tell me. I know. Quality? I write without that! But quantity? Darlin', I’ve got that in spades.

Hmmm, so how can I write more crap in even less time to annoy everyone on Lemmy? This comm will mostly be Drabbles, which are tiny stories that are exactly 100 words. Not 99. Not 101. One hundred. Like a hitman with a word count contract. (Which I've broken in this sidebar.)

A few other flash fiction and weird-ass short short stories may be posted as well.

These are pulp shots fired straight from my brain. No filter, no brakes, no shame.

Love 'em? Hate 'em? Doesn’t matter, because I’m posting them anyway.

Read fast. They bite.

I noticed Caleb Williams looked different. Skinny. Hair turned gray. Grotesque veins grouped up and bulged under his forehead.

“I’ve invented something,” he said. “It activates the primitive nerve centers of my brain. I can see other dimensions that exist and overlap our own!”

Poor Caleb could finally see the things that made dogs bark. Those strange shapes skirting the edge of night. New colors unknown to mankind.

Yeah, he looked different. That’s because he could see different. He could see everything.

He hanged himself on November 16, 1899.

I have just acquired his invention.

Now I want to see.
