The Diurnal Drabble Dare: Week 13

Get your prompts for March 26 to April 1, 2025!

Welcome to Week 13 of The Diurnal Drabble Dare, March 26 - April 1, 2025.

How was Week 12? How many drabbles did you write? I managed to write 8. Here’s one of them:

I Hate Raisins

At first, I thought they were turds. Then I realized they were raisins.

The dropped fruits snaked down the sidewalk in a wobbly line. I didn’t bother picking them up, though I probably should’ve. Raisins were toxic for dogs, and our street had lots of dogs.

But the shrivelled mystery beckoned.

I followed the trail until it ended at the neighbour’s open gate. Something small and sticky hit my cheek. I looked up just in time to see the boy in the treehouse hurl another raisin at me.

“Why are you throwing them?” I asked.

“I hate raisins,” he said.
