Our writing assignment for the Aug 11 meeting was something called a drabble - a story done in exactly 100 words.
AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE:
"Take a number."
"I need to see the
Doctor NOW"
"Why are you so
special? Take a number and wait your
turn."
"I'm in a lot of
PAIN."
"Who isn't? Look at everyone. They're all hurt. Take a number or leave."
"Alright already! 523!
Who are you serving now?"
"137. Sit. Read. Enjoy
some Tolstoy."
FIVE HOURS LATER:
"So what's the
problem?"
"Doctor, it hurts when I
do THAT."
"Stop doing THAT! Problem solved. NEXT!"
"Wait. That's it?
I waited all day in pain for that?"
"524!"
THE END.
The story title is:
The Vaudevillian Cure
