It's hard watching your hometown dry up and blow away in the wind. A place that was once teeming with life and creativity now sits in the dust of forgotten dreams.

My name's Christopher. I live in DrablrTown. Some folks say it's a nice place to visit but you wouldn't want to live there. Some residents got the wanderlust and left for greener pastures. Hell, I'm not immune. Left myself once. But I came back because it's my home.

There are only a handful of residents left in DrablrTown, but we'll be here to welcome old and new friends alike...

    Granted, there may be more people beyond the scope of the ones I follow that post regularly, but it seems like a lot of the ones I follow that used to post a lot don't seem to be active anymore.

    Nicely said. Be nice to see vanishing writers return. ;-)

    Hi Christopher. In a disoriented moment I typed your name in the search box instead of just going straight to your drabbles. Glad I found this by doing so. -)))
    I feel a bit like that about drablr despite often falling behind with the longer stories. :-( Hope you're well.

    I just did the same thing, Jamie. I haven't been on in a few weeks. Life seems to be constantly getting in the way of what I really want to do.

    Like John Lennon said 'Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.'
