‘You can’t just kill him!’
‘Why not?’
‘Because people love him.’
‘We’ve been through this a dozen times. It’s the only way I’m going to be free of him.’
‘Just take a break; come back to him in the future.’
‘He’ll be lingering in the background. I need to draw a hard line.’
‘But he’s your lead character! He is the series.’
‘And I’m sick of having to always structure my stories around him. He’s a millstone. I need the freedom to experiment. Be creative. Write something fresh.’
‘You’re killing the golden goose.’
‘Maybe. But that goose is killing me.’
A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words.

Oh, this is brilliant, Rob! I'm sure lots of authors have felt this way. Sometimes, the urge must be overpowering.
