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.
Once upon a time, long ago, a special child was born. His parents were royalty, and everyone knew that he would be the king. But that is not why he was special.
As the child grew, strange things happened. His tutors began to notice…odd things about him. Like how once, when he was frustrated during class, his book started smoldering. But that is not why he was special.
What made him special, was his ability to mind his own business. He didn't care what you did, so long as you didn't harm anyone. And that is why he was special.
