At
Writer's Connect, we
started to introduce homework projects to spur creativity. I
suggested we try out a drabble, an exactly 100-word story.
I
used a Gawker article for inspiration.
Dressed flamboyant
in Grass-turf textured blazer and flowery blue tiara, Johnny Weir grimaces as he saunters up the steps into the octagon. Across
from referee Herb: a worried
Vladimir Putin. The
bell sounds. Herb jumps back; Putin ices over. He steps forward,
fists high.
“Weir is
confident,” the commentator says. “He's researched this.”
Weir pounces like a
rabid dog, his leather trousers providing grip to Putin's sturdy
frame, forcing the grassy jacket into his face. Putin wheezes, knees
buckling, and Herb separates them, pushing the inhaler into Putin's
mouth. Pink confetti rains over Johnny, and over Russia.
