drabbles drabbles rah rah rah!

I am taking drabble requests! Have anything you would like me to try?

I'll probably try to stick to the traditional 100 words, because I like the format, and I don't have a lot of time.

Challenge me!

Aden looked around, and shrank back against his grandfather.

“This is where I grew up, before our family was noble. My parents used to have a workshop in that building right there.”

“It’s scary here!”

His grandfather smiled, and ruffled his hair. “It’s not so scary. Lots of people live here, and people are the same everywhere. These people just don’t have nice things. Does that make them scary?”

“No…”

“Well there you go, then. Not scary.”

“Why don’t they have nice things?”

“Because the world isn’t a very fair place, Aden. It’s up to us to make it better.”
