March '24 Drabble: Lucky Duck
Write me a prose story in exactly 100 words, using standard spelling and punctuation, on this topic: Luck. Good luck, bad luck, no luck, hard luck, whatever. It's supposed to be the month celebrating the Luck of the Irish, but anybody who has studied history can tell ya...luck is really, really subjective. I'll pick the winner in early April, unless I forget until mid April.
Typical Bad Day
I slipped on my leather jacket, then I dumped a few quarters in my pocket. I took a few steps… then tripped on my brother’s skateboard. I brushed myself off, then went to the bus stop. My friend wasn’t wearing green, so I pinched him. He pinched back, but he pinched so hard that a small bit of my skin fell off. I was late to class, and once I arrived, I heard Melissa plotting something. Then, at the school assembly, she pantsed me in front of the whole school. At least I figured out what she was up to.
