March '24 Drabble: Lucky Duck
Write me a prose story in exactly 100 words, using standard spelling and punctuation, on this topic: Luck. Good luck, bad luck, no luck, hard luck, whatever. It's supposed to be the month celebrating the Luck of the Irish, but anybody who has studied history can tell ya...luck is really, really subjective. I'll pick the winner in early April, unless I forget until mid April.
Water
This world is not what it used to be. Our Grandma told stories about the everlasting water from the streams; our Grandpa told us about the drought.
To our luck, we chose to rob a bank. We escaped with more money than we could've imagined. We drank water for months and gave Grandpa and Grandma their soft goodbyes. We drank water until we became just like Grandpa and Grandma.
Today, I tell the stories of how we robbed the bank to our grandkids, and my brother will tell the stories of how everything went wrong – this time with war.
