Challenge
Write a drabble (a story of exactly 100 words).
In Prose only, 100 words exactly, tell me a story. Fiction or fact, fantastical or realistic, just make it lean, mean, and punchy. No theme assigned this time, let's see what you can do without guidance. I'll choose the winner in June.

The End
What is that sound? It's echoing throughout the whole world. As though God were walking through the valley of death.
The sound is everywhere at once. Where is it going? Everyone is running in different directions. Trying to find shelter.
The sound grows sharper, more pronounced, higher pitched. The earth shakes. My ears bleed. Can't concentrate. Dizzy. Falling.
Darkness. Headache. The sound. It's the sink. It's leaking.
I'm in bed. Why is that drip so loud? Migraine? Me?
I've never had one before. This pain is excruciating, my eyes feel like nails have been embedded. Have to call out sick.
