Drabble Dienstag - The Skeleton Key

Here's the drabble (100 word story) for today. I love to hear feedback so I can improve.

That old skeleton key. It sat in a drawer, gathering dust and little strings of cobwebs. The metal had rusted a tiny bit so that it was more brown with red spots than black anymore. Its destiny had never been fulfilled, and now no one even knew what it opened. In fact, no one knew it existed. It sat in a drawer that was part of a desk that had been in the back of an antique store for years. Until a curious little girl came and dug around, she took the key in her fist and took it home.

key

I really love those big brass ones that only have two teeth and look like they belong in a castle. But then there are those keys on my piano, that I miss so much. Or the key to the music I play which is called a clef (clef is key in French). Or the keys on my keyboard that I use to write words everyday. So many uses for one word.

Guess what, we're having a give-away next week! Come back and play Word of the Week for a chance to win a prize.

I have a poll to open up as well, I'll do that later this week. It's a question about being a blog reader and comments.

Lastly, don't forget to enter my 100 Followers 100 Photos give-away. Just click the link on the right with my self portrait to see the blog post. It ends tomorrow.

I think that's all of the news. I have some photos from Paris to share tomorrow. Have a good day!
