Nocturnal Detritus.

Stranded in the land of lost dreams I find myself amidst failed hopes, discarded promises, darkness and light. Myriad small droplets contain the broken, half finished and littered remnants of a million nightly journeys. They lie dark, pearlescent and unending; luring like ripened fruit. I lift up a droplet and gaze into someone else's dreamscape. So many drip past my eyes yet none give me the answer I seek. How am I here?

Is this a story? Damned if I know, but by kind permission it's based on a poem by Wattpad user whyteoleandar (see link).

I was intending to try and make it into something a lot longer and I may well yet do so but I came across a site (below) which posts up 75 word paragraphs (75 words including the title!).

It sorta intrigued me and that poem popped into my head, the rest as they say is history =]

ThanksOleandar!

All comments welcome on this one I'd be intrigued to know what you think.

A Drabble is a 100 word short, so would this be a Dribble?
