Drabble Story 2 - Decimation by Duty

"No tree on Earth had ever reached the skies, my eyes must be lying." The commander stood outside with her binoculars up to her eyes watching the foggy landscape down to the horizon where the giant stood. Her deputy sat leaning against their crashed space ship. "That tree is our only chance of surviving on this planet, we have no more resources." The commander then asked, "And our enemy?" He replied "Most likely same state as us." Without batting an eye, the commander simply stated. "Our mission is to obliterate them, even if that means sacrificing our selves. Burn it."

Drabble Story 1 - Spectacle of Death

He had been warned. Never trespass on the ancient grounds. Yet he did, and all for what? For one single bounty. As lightning struck the man, the surge of energy rattled his body around. He had never felt so alive until these last moments of his death. His audience, the stoic red ruins and reedy grass stood silent but illuminated by the spectacle. He had heard tales that memories of one's life flash over throughout their mind in the final moments. Instead, all of his demons and worries were completely absent. All left were his sensations, his mindfulness, his peace.

My Drabbles

My older bro suggested I write drabbles (100 word mini stories). I decided it would be a good exercise for writing stories.

I have a bunch of Magic The Gathering Cards I got for free over the years at different places (stores and comic conventions). I looked at a lot of them and realized there is some really beautiful inspiring art work. So since I'm not going to use these cards and they are not worth anything I cut out all the pictures.

I am going to randomly select an image from the pile and then write a story based off of it. Look for the next post for my first drabble.
