Corrie’s Winning Drabble:
“Against All Odds”

The average cloud weighs a million pounds yet still somehow floats across the sky, minding its own business even while you study it, classify it, or pretend it looks like a dog on a tricycle for the sake of your five-year-old, who still believes in you and in magic and in you being magic despite your ongoing propensity for proving that none of those things should be counted on basically ever, and while she’ll figure that out someday it’s not going to be this day and you, with your tenuous place in her world, float on. The way clouds do.

And for all those who entered our Drabble of the Month contest but did not win this Month, your entries will automatically be entered into our contest for June. This contest is ongoing and you can enter any time.
