Happy Friday! I’m back with a drabble. What’s a drabble? A drabble is a short work of fiction, exactly 100 words in length.
Join me. Create your own 100-word piece of fiction. The more dabbling with drabbles the merrier. Tag your post with ‘Friday Drabble’ and use the hash-tag #fridaydrabble on Twitter.
Before you get to the drabble, I want to update you on the “Wednesday’s What is It?”. Generally speaking, most of you were correct with your guess. Though technically speaking, because most of you were specific with your guess, you were incorrect.
The picture was of the inside workings of an umbrella – not a patio umbrella – a regular “singing in the rain” kind of umbrella.
Thanks for guessing, and I hope you will return next time. For now, please enjoy this drabble.

She was cold – so very cold, as her breath crystallized before her.
Through the cold mist she made out a small light, but she couldn’t move.
She began to shiver, as her body tried to warm itself.
Mom.
She heard a voice.
Mom.
She was paralyzed.
“MOM! You’re in a freezer coma again!”
Shaking her head and blinking her eyes, everything came back in perspective. She was staring into the freezer at the three pints of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. A little over 20 days of the Lenten season remained- but then, those pints would be all hers.

Lenore's Thoughts Exactly 
Ha ha! “Freezer coma” is perfect. Absolutely perfect.
You have more self control than I. Within 2 days, my resolve to give up sweets morphed into a resolve to eat so many sweets I would lapse into a diabetic coma.
Hahahahaha! I like how your resolve morphed into a different resolve. I’ll be saying hello to my own diabetic coma on Easter. *sigh*
Fun one, Lenore!!! We were all so close yet so far away!!!
Glad you liked it, Beth Ann.
Tell the truth, LD, that wasn’t fiction was it?
I promise you it has not happened, Kim. Not yet, anyway.
Now this could be a real-life drama. The torment of pent-up desire.

It’s true, Maxi. I hope I don’t get to the point of a freezer-induced coma, but … I still have just over 20 days left.
Blessings to you, too.
Hahaha!! Branching into non-fiction, i see!! 🙂
I promise this is fiction. Sure, it COULD happen, but as of today – it has yet to happen. Yet.
Freezer coma! Hilarious!
Ya like it, eh? Yeah, I chuckled writing it. It is so me, though I promise it has never happened. Swear.
And I believe you. 😉
I don’t think I could be that creative. If you have something frozen with chocolate in it … I’ll take it off your hands, though.
I’d gladly give up most anything chocolate Annie, provide it wasn’t chocolate ice cream. 🙂 Thank you for visiting.
I had a dream about Chunky Monkey last night…
Really? Yum. May you have more “sweet dreams”. Sweet, creamy, chocolatey dreams. 🙂
