Hey there, my wonderful reader. Today’s challenge: write a drabble. Drabbles are teeny-tiny stories (100 words for your reading pleasure). This baby story must contain the word Flash and an assortment of colours (red, pink, purple, and blue).


Ruby’s lipstick matched the carpet like she belonged. For months she agonised over this moment — how was she going to garner attention and be unforgettable?

Her designer purple-blue coat stood out against the other women’s shoestring outfits that left little for the imagination.

In pink heels, Ruby strutted her stuff. She’ll show them. Her lips were perfection.

Now or never!

She slipped her coat off her shoulders, exposing her second outfit — her birthday suit.

Flash. Flash. Flash.

The paparazzi went wild. All eyes and lenses on her!

At that moment she became clickbait, an influencer. She became The Flasher!

The Muse likes her ego stroked, leave a comment and she'll do the same... unless there is a glitch... or human error...
