He had a crazy dream.
He’d be in a formal suit, a beautiful girl in a fur coat and an unusual pink hat would be sitting across the table from him. Everyone would be dressed like they did in the twenties.
He’d lean in to kiss the girl, but before he did, he would wake and she’d be gone.
It was the same dream every night since a week. He was worried. He had final exams to worry about too. Then he saw the notice on the board at school.
“Prom Night 2014. Theme: The Twenties. Tickets are now available.”
This is a Drabble, which is a form of microfiction that is hundred words in length.
This post is shared with and inspired by the prompt at Magpie Tales, Mag 220. The prompt was an image of a painting by Edward Hopper. The image in this post has been taken from the Magpie Tales blog.

I wish he saw what was going to happen. I mean if the dream was a premonition, at least it should have shown him how it ends. Now he will have to wait until prom night to find out.
Sadly, dreams don’t work that way always Jb. Just makes you curious to find out how it ends. Maybe he might ask someone out now, who knows? 😉
Cleverly created. And I have learned what a Drabble is………. thanks
Thanks, and glad you liked it, Cait 🙂
You know, this seems like a really nice opening to a warm romantic tale one could enjoy with a cup of hot cocoa. Or a witty number with a sarcastic tone. Expand, please?
Yeah. Kind of mysterious haina? 😉 Expand to part 2? 😮 Will see, Medhs 🙂
wooo hoo.. he might be in luck here then 🙂
Yeah Biks 😀 He might be. 😉
Pretty amazing Drabble I must say Leo. Well done 🙂
Thanks, Sid 🙂
Nicely ‘drabbled’. I like the theme of past meeting future!
Thanks, Lena! 🙂
Neat, sweet little drabble! And yes, dream girls will disappear just before you kiss them; for some reason, dreams seem to think they need to be cliff hangers.
Yeah I agree, Rhisanna. Always cliffhangers!
Art and dreams are mostly prophetic , i think , which is what worries me a little about Game of Thrones , although we may already be there …
Cheers
Thankfully not every art is prophetic 🙂 Thanks, Kutamun.
wow! that was a nice little story! Loved it!
Thanks, Nibha 🙂
