Drabble #226: Heartbreak

[jalenstrix]

...we had a nice response to my last posted drabble prompt of Drabble 221, with entries by redwolf and me (jalenstrix), one of your intrepid drabble proposers, with commenting by us both. Huzzah!

As always, special labyfic love to redwolf for adding entries and comments for several previous drabble prompts. Onward, laby drabblers, onwards -- may our fabulous redwolf continue to lead us forth!





For this prompt, we continue with our one-word/phrase drabble roots:

Heartbreak

What's the heartbreak about? Whose heart is breaking and why? Is someone a heartbreaker? Tell us all about it. Labyfic-style, of course.




Given our entries from recent months, let's continue with the suggested limit for this month of 500 words. Though remember that shorter pieces are most definitely welcome!

Your entry should take the following format, posted as a comment on this entry:
Word count: # of words

I'll aim to get my next drabble challenge out on the first Monday of next month (Oct 6).

I'm also very happy to take suggestions if something in particular strikes your fancy -- comment on this post or PM me with your suggestions. You can see our current collected suggestions here.


Remember: Feedback is LOVE. So do reply to your fellow labyficcers' drabbles if so inclined. (Though be careful of concrit unless specifically okayed by the author beforehand. Authors generally write for love.)

While not the outcome the child's parents would have wanted, even though their injuries were too extensive, while they were in the Goblin Kingdom it would have been the first time in their short life of knowing comfort, quiet, a lack of pain and an abundance of food. 🦊🧡
