This is Drabbletober, the podcast of tiny fiction.

Hello, and welcome to Drabbletober. This is an occasional bonus episode, for the first of April, 2026. I'm Elizabeth Guilt.

Your one-hundred word story for the day is: Everywhere

---

There was a bang and, too late, a screech of brakes.

"Shit! A deer, we hit a deer."

"What?"

"A deer! You saw that, right?"

Dave was five or six whiskeys down, his voice rising, panicking.

I'd seen blond hair, plastered by rain against a pale face.

For weeks afterwards, I trawled local news sites. No reports of a road death, or a missing woman.

I stopped drinking after that. Dave didn't. When his car ran off the road, I wasn't surprised.

I don't drive at night any more. Is she there? I don't know, but I see her.

Everywhere.

Take care, everyone, and I'll see you again sometime.
