Angela sits staring at the blank grey cement cell wall, desperate for a resolution.
She cannot believe she’s been arrested for murder.
How did that happen?
The last thing she remembers is downing a number of tequila shots with the girls, celebrating her birthday.
Then she wakes beside a dead body. Not just any body either but her partner of five years.
She cannot explain how this happened. Her partner was working away for a week so how did he end up dead?
Angela’s implication in the crime is based on circumstantial evidence, but how does she prove she’s innocent?

I was challenged to write a drabble of the word ‘implication'.
Wikipedia defines a drabble as follows :
A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
