Challenge
A Century!
A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length.
It is a tricky piece of work but a fun challenge!
Write a drabble that revolves around eyes or even better eye colour!
A musky brown that reminds you of a beach or the cold, grey eyes which are emotionless? Anything is welcomed here!
Just remember that it should be of 100 words; 90 at the minimum. Maximum is a 100.
