Drabble prompt: Dungeon

Dungeon: The word dungeon is based on Old French donjon, which is derived from Latin dom(i)niōn- "property" (and ultimately dominus "lord"). However, in French the term donjon refers to a "keep" (a type of tower), and the term oubliette or cachot (a type of prison) is a more appropriate translation of English "dungeon".

Three-Minute Fiction

The idea is simple: Write a short story that can be read in three minutes or less — that's usually about 500-600 words in length. I borrowed the idea from this article about a contest in the states for writing three minute fiction, which I think is a brilliant idea for writing a short story meant to be read aloud.

To create a larger world than the confines of a 100 word drabble. A world that pairs the written word with the art of story telling.
