If you’re the kind of reader who can appreciate short works of art, then you just must read this drabble. In a mere 162 words, feeling dead will change your mood through her perfectly placed words. Because it is so short, I won’t talk much about the plot because I would ruin the story for you, but here’s a bit of a review to get you interested in clicking that link.

Born in the Wake was written for a drabble contest and a song was used for inspiration. The overall image of the story will be clear in your mind, even though the bigger picture is vague. It could take place during multiple different scenarios, and that’s part of what I think makes this story such a great read. Depending on your own personal experience and your own thoughts at the time of reading, you can apply the story to your own situation so it has more of an impact on you. It takes talent to be able to be vague and so impactful, and that’s what feeling dead has shown in this drabble.

I found this story about a month ago when it was posted, and after rereading it a few times, it’s still brilliant. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. Even if a story with the theme of pain might not be what you want to read, just give it a go; it’s only 162 words!
