With this piece I’m participating in a collaborative initiative between Dude Write and 100 Word Song.
Fictional piece of exactly 100 words.
Inspired by “Strength” by The Alarm.
For visual and auditory reference, here:
This is it: the ultimate test that separates the strong from the weak. I’ve lasted for more than thirty minutes, but I know it’s far from over. I need strength to make it through.
As I pace back and forth in the corner I stare into the cold, cold soul of my nemesis. It’s just the two of us now, there’s nobody here to help me fight back.
I need strength to fight back…
I give up. I’m just not strong enough.
I rip the lid off the tub of ice cream, grab a table spoon, and dig right in.

Forget the soup spoon. I prefer to eat it right out of the scooper! 🙂

Ah, yes, I gave up fighting ice cream long ago. Even the strongest holds no chance against that creamy blob of heaven.

“Blob Of Heaven”…isn’t that the new Ben & Jerry’s flavour? 😉

Yes, I believe so. It comes with or without angel nuts.

Who could resist that? 🙂

Nobody, that’s who!

Awesome…you got me in the end. I knew it wasn’t a prize fight, but maybe a stubborn child so wouldn’t eat their peas.

That would’ve been pretty good too! Almost as trying…
