A Drabble is a work of fiction that is exactly 100 words. No more. No less.

Today’s random word is cumbrous

The genre is mystery

Hashtag sign

Cumbrous.

Such a medieval term in a stunning cheerleader journal. Was it a password, a challenge? Obviously, it was no hashtag Samantha would usually ornate each of her Instagram posts. It must have meant something to someone. Now she was gone, the only clues I could collect were digital. As a homicide detective I had no choice and no luck as I would have to read all her social media gibberish and it was humongous. Especially after my big dumb ass of an assistant decided all that junk should be printed and dumped on my overloaded desk…on a Friday night.
