For those unfamiliar with the term, a drabble is a short succinct moment captured with the utmost economy of words. How short, you ask? The perfect drabble is 100 words, that may sound easy, but it's not. Most drabbles cross the 100 word mark, but are kept quite close to it.
These are theholyinnocent's responses to challenges posted to the Thursday100 and SVU100 groups on LiveJournal. Enjoy!
