Chapter Three of Four

“Robin stooped down and began to plant more seeds. She still longed desperately for a tall glass of cold water, but something inside of her had been quenched and comforted all the same.”

This is an assortment of ficlets inspired by some of the July Drabble prompts – posted with apologies that it’s now December(! 😱), that these aren’t drabbles and that I’m going for four chapters with three to five ficlets each (and only seventeen prompts out of the thirty-one). Some of these are set at Chapman Farm and feature supporting characters from ‘The Running Grave,’ whilst others are set at various points in the lives of Strike and Robin.

Chapter One prompts: Thirsty, Moving, Mothers, Pottery, Sweater. Chapter Two prompts: Son, Girls’ Night, Eight, Doctor’s Orders, Competitive. Chapter Three prompts: Respite, Mint, Hermit, Old Fashioned. Chapter Four prompts: Saxophone, Thirteen, Losing a Bet.

A number of the ficlets in Chapters Two, Three and Four are specifically inspired by/ indebted to conversations between Pools, Lindsay and Kenz on the always-glorious podcast @thesefilespod which is why I’ve gifted this to @pools-of-venetianblue. Thank you, Pools (and Lindsay and Kenz!) for many hours of very happy listening! 😃

Dear college students,

I am begging you -- begging you -- to closely read the assignment before printing out your paper, pressing "submit," or handing in your blue book. If your professor has distributed rubrics or pre-submission checklists, read those too!

Signed,

A college professor whose students could have gotten much better grades if they'd read the ----ing assignment (and the rubric, and the pre-submission checklist)

P.S. Cite your sources!
