How to show grief

a vacant look

slack facial expressions

shaky hands

trembling lips

swallowing

struggling to breathe

tears rolling down their cheeks

How to show fondness

smiling with their mouth and their eyes

softening their features

cannot keep their eyes off of the object of their fondness

sometimes pouting the lips a bit

reaching out, wanting to touch them

How to show envy

narrowing their eyes

rolling their eyes

raising their eyebrows

grinding their teeth

tightening jaw

chin poking out

pouting their lips

forced smiling

crossing arms

shifting their gaze

clenching their fists

tensing their muscles

then becoming restless/fidgeting

swallowing hard

stiffening

holding their breath

blinking rapidly

exhaling sharply

How to show regret

scrubbing a hand over the face

sighing heavily

downturned mouth

slightly bending over

shoulders hanging low

hands falling to the sides

a pained expression

heavy eyes

staring down at their feet

Part I + Part II + Part III + Part IV

A drabble is a type of literature that contains exactly 100 words. It's perfect as a warm-up, for a small idea on the go, or as a daily routine.

Writing less is not necessarily easier. You need to tell a story in a limited amount of words. But it's a fun idea to try it in exactly 100 words and adjust your writing accordingly.

For the one word prompt game: Garden

Thank you so much, my love!

Garden

The garden was supposed to show the owner's soul. Some were perfectly curated, everything full of life, but accurately trimmed. And some were an utter mess.

It was a magical garden, that she was sure of.

They met at a garden party, a small get-together with friends and their friends.

The garden gnomes were the first things that went missing in the neighborhood.

Late at night, they met at their favourite spot. The gazebo at the furthest point from the house, where no one could see them.

"The garden is amazing! I can't wait to have lots of garden parties here."

"I will meet you in the garden at midnight. Do not be late."

It had become a tradition for them to have their sleepovers in the garden. Looking up at the starry night sky, cuddling into their sleeping bags.
