Show Notes

This is Drabbletober, the podcast of tiny fiction.

Hello, and welcome to Drabbletober. This is an occasional bonus episode, for the first of September, 2025. I'm Elizabeth Guilt.

Your one-hundred word story for the day is: Whispers

---

When my mother died, she gifted me a whisper. Her voice threads through my life.

You can do anything.

I inherited hers, too; the whisper she got from her mother.

A woman is as good as any man.

You can do anything.

They raised me after my father left. They were relieved when I finally grew tired of his bullshit and refused to see him again.

A woman is as good as any man.

My father also gifted me a whisper.

Are you sure?

My mother raised me strong. I can do anything.

You can do anything.

Are you sure?
