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.

Her hair has gotten too long. She thinks of taking the office scissors, going in the break room, and cutting off everything below thick black elastic.

Sumio looks her way.

"Harakiri?"

"Not tonight." She responds, tapping her metal pen against the desk. "Morikawa's got me on a case."

Sumio shrugged his shoulders. "Next time, then." Dispassionately, he leaves the room, and Chizuru feels her acute irritation suddenly skyrocket. As the door closes behind him, Hachisuka grabs her bag and coat, rushing to catch the younger detective before he absconded via the sole elevator.

"Fuck it," She said, ignoring his raised eyebrows as the elevator slid open. "Need an early out from his bullshit anyway."
