I don't remember anything. Try as I might, nothing flashes into my mind. I draw a complete blank. I turn my head and look around me. Everywhere, I see people I know, yet I have this feeling; they know something that I don't. I've faced this situation before. A lot of times. Every time I try coming out of it, I meet with failure. I've fought valiantly; writing down things, again and again, until I memorize them. Yet, here I am, unable to remember anything, unable to think of anything. The bell rings. I return a blank paper, yet again.
Author notes
This is my first attempt at a drabble. I hope I've made the story clear. The above scene takes place in an exam hall.

ahhhh... poor Kirin. I hated it when I took an exam and couldn't remember a thing. This little drabble sure brought back memories. Good job it was clear what happened before I got to the end.

I like it, it reminds me of writers block *shudder* very well phrase, I really enjoyed it =DD

It doesn't exceed 100, does it? Hmmm...
-
-
It does, by one word!

Ouch...! I ll re-edit it. (This way, I can keep from idling!)
Every time I try coming out of it, I meet with failure. -

Bingo to you too!

Hmmm... In what way does it take away the meaning? Enlighten me!
-

It does not take away the meaning of the sentence, it takes away the meaning of the word 'Drabble' in the title by increasing the number of words. Sorry I wasn't clear

You know me... It's grammar I look at first!
"Try as I may"- Try as I might.
"Each time, I try to come out of it, with no success."- Every time I try coming out of it, I meet with no success. (Better put this way)
I would not necessarily relate this to an exam hall. Well written. Keep writing... -

Hi Kartz!!
