Image of a vintage typewriter with the words 'A Drabble: A 100-word story' at the top of the image. Title of the story on the sheet of paper in the typewriter: 'Just a bit more'. Typed text reads: ‘Keep going’, she thought. ‘Get to that wonky tree.’ One step at a time, she made it to the wonky tree. Checking her watch, she realised how agonisingly close she was to 10k. ‘Just a bit further. You’ve got this’, she told herself. ‘Then you can eat all the pizza and chocolate you want.’ She lengthened her stride, steadied her breath, looked dead ahead, and focused on being in that moment. She dropped her shoulders just a bit more, fully relaxed, and felt completely unburdened. ‘This. This is why I run’, she thought. Arriving home, smiling, her watch read 10.76k.
