Welcome back to the AI Drabble Challenge, a weekly experiment in human and AI creativity. Each Wednesday, I set a prompt to inspire a Drabble, a story told in exactly 100 words.
You can use any AI model you like (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or others), or several at once. How you collaborate is up to you. Maybe the AI drafts the first version, or writes the whole thing, maybe you co-write, or maybe you use it to spark ideas. What matters is the process, and sharing it.
This Week’s Prompt
This week’s prompt is two unrelated images.

Image 2:
Use either or both images to create your Drabble. Remember: exactly 100 words, no more, no less.
How to Take Part
- Write your 100-word Drabble with help from an AI tool (or two).
- Post your story in the comments, or publish it on your own website and include a pingback to this post.
- If you can, share which AI model(s) you used and the prompt that started your process, we can all learn from each other.
Community & Highlights
Each week, I’ll read through the entries, share a few favourites, and highlight one that particularly stood out, for originality, style, or the inventive way it used AI.
This isn’t about competition; it’s about curiosity, experimentation, and celebrating how humans and machines can create together.
A Closing Thought
AI gives us the tools, but we give it meaning. Let’s see what stories emerge this week, 100 words at a time.
Your Turn!
Now it’s over to you, can you craft your own 100-word Drabble inspired by this week’s prompt.
Post your story in the comments below or link to your own blog, I love seeing the imaginative twists readers come up with. So don’t be shy, join in and show us what your AI + Your Imagination can do!

The Bottling
Each bottle on the shelves was labelled with a date and name. Jenny recognised most: neighbours, the postman, her sister. Inside each bottle, a miniature city floated in amber liquid.
The logbook explained everything. Her husband’s handwriting, meticulous as ever. “They’re happier this way. No worry. Just endless golden afternoons.” The final entry was dated today. “Jenny next. She’ll understand once she’s inside.”
She found him in the garden, holding an empty bottle up to the sun, squinting at her through the glass. Behind him, the floating city shimmered. “Don’t struggle,” he whispered. “The reduction only hurts if you resist.”
I used Claude and the prompt was: “Use these two images as a prompt for a sinister, psychological horror 100 word story.”
