Priya the psychic took Peggy's palm. “Peter is a prat,” she said.
Peggy peered over a pince-nez, probing Priya.
“Peter is prone to posturing and pedantics.
“Pedantic prats are a pestilence. Putting power in their palms is a problem. But pathetic people are permitted a path to peace provided they put posturing aside.”
[A drabble is a story in exactly 100 words]
[behold pathetic people and stop posturing, though of course these people rarely know who they are, so never mind]

Wow... that's a lot of p's and also amazing to get exactly 100 words. Good job :)
Prat. What a fantastic insult. I should start using that one more, I mean, maybe my characters should. I don't insult people, um, out loud, unless they drop heavy things on my feet.
I do feel sympathetic toward Peter. My printer . . . I don't even know where to start. It's possessed. That's the only plausable explanation.

Prat is a great word. Very British!
I loved how you used the word prat. There was a touch of wisdom to this story!
