May 2024 Drabble Challenge: "Sprung"
Using exactly 100 words, tell me a prose story. This month's interpretation is wide open, but somehow stick to the topic / idea of "Sprung." Spring, sprung, hung, bouncy, end-of-wintery, whatever. Horror? Sure, ok. Porn? Hell, let's see what you got. Mechanical mania, machines awakened by the passing of an infectious comet? Overdrive it, baby, to the maximum. The only rules here are standard English grammar and punctuation and a word count of exactly 100 words. I'll pick a winner sometime after June 1 and before July gets here, probably.

Spring Allergies
Warm spring light reflects in the small puddle of liquid resting in the windowsill.I remain in my chair,every rock causes a musical crunch to grace my ears. Calmly, I take in the day that would be clear, if it wasn't for the pollen drifting by in the air, some even comes through the broken glass window to rest.
"You know today is the kind of day we hate," I tell the figure sitting quietly next to me. "Luckily neither of us have to worry about your allergies anymore." The bloody corpse doesn't answer, but then I wasn't expecting it to.
