‘There has to be more to life than this.’ Stan put his head in his hands.
‘Like what?’ David asked.
‘I don’t know. Just more. You live, you die, shit happens in between.’
‘Life’s what you make it. Isn’t that what the song says?’
‘That’s pish. You think you can control your own destiny?’
‘I think we have a say.’
‘Life’s conditioned. There’re rules, structures, limits – money, power, violence, ability, connections.’
‘You still have choices. Opportunities. Come-on, let’s go to the pub; see if we can score.’
‘With people as desperate as us.’
‘With people who want more from life.’
A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words.

Well-written, Rob. I like that conversation. It brings up some really deep points, but doesn't sound laboured.
