Here's a writer to watch. I loved them. They are my favorite drabbles ever. Bar None!

They are accurate. Each 100 words with a beginning a middle and an end. They are unconnected, as they should be, and heaven forbid! they each have a little twist.

I also have dozens of vignettes on CreativeCopyChallenge.com

Thanks, tanya77. The third story is an attempt to show the addicted gambler, high on adrenaline, abandoning reason in favor of that euphoric rush (la petite mort.)

Basically, he makes some stupid plays at the Blackjack table. LOL

Thanks, dreamthief. I agree the second is dark, but the first was supposed to be a final happy epiphany. :)

Cheers,

Mitch
