GHM DRABBLE CHALLENGE
HOW TO PLAY?

Every Monday at 12 PM PST, I will post a prompt. You have until the following Monday at noon PST to write and reply with a 100-200 word fic, i.e. a 'drabble', inspired by the prompt. (For an extra challenge, try to hit exactly 100 words!)

You can reply with the full text of the drabble, or link out to another site like Ao3, Tumblr, etc.

Any rating is permitted; please warn for NSFW and content where appropriate.

WHAT ELSE?

You may post more than one response to a single week's prompt! :)

Anon is enabled if you want to write anonymously / you don't feel like making a DW account.

If you're inspired to continue your drabbles, you're welcome to connect multiple challenge responses to each other, or expand on your fics outside of the challenge.

Sakura looks out the grimy window of the empty subway car, the impenetrable darkness staring back at her blankly.

She sneaks a glance at the sole passenger directly across the aisle: her silent companion into an invisible 24th Ward. He too watches the tenebrous scenery, both gun and hands resting on his lap, unmoving. Sakura wonders what he’s thinking. She can’t see his face.

Sakura’s gaze returns to the window, her reflection showing purple under-eye bruises and sweaty hair. The train rushes on endlessly. Sakura closes her eyes, imagining everything she knew of her old life sliding into the darkness.
