Won Hundred Word Wednesday

October 14, 2015: 

One Hundred words is kinda tough to tell a story in. But sometimes, I have to admit, I'm a tiny bit surprised to see where my brain takes these prompts. 

 The Prompt for this week is:  

Someone must have seen him, because the police were at his door

      

There’s always that one guy. It doesn’t matter where you live, there’s that one person who just tries to get away with too much. Maybe they think they are above it all. Maybe they think they are invincible. Maybe they want that thrill of trying something just to see if they can get away with it.

Most times, it’s relatively harmless in the grand scheme of things.

But not with Bob.*  

Kinda hard to not be noticed when you’re dragging things like a severed leg down the street.  Someone must have seen him, because the police were at his door.

*name has been changed to protect the innocent neighbors nearby. 

WonHundred Word Wednesday

It really is fun to come up with really short stories. I know some of the time they feel like they have closure, but most of the time they are just a quick teaser, or opening to tons of possibilities. 

October 22nd: As she searched, her movements were frantic

She’d been over the room a dozen times, but the key was still missing.

She closed her eyes, trying to visualize where she had last seen it. She’d removed the chain from her neck to meet with him. He would have known instantly what it was.

If she didn’t find it soon, she’d never get the lock opened and the trap couldn’t be set. Too many people were counting on her. She couldn’t fail.

A sparkle of light in the corner caught her attention.

The key dangled from the silver chain hanging from his bony finger. She was too late.

And from a week I missed this summer:  September 3rd: The fire was getting closer

The fire was getting closer and I smiled. It would save me. Break me free of this prison. I ignored the manacles around my bony wrist. If I tried hard, I could probably slip them off, but I still couldn’t fit through the bars on the window.

The guards hollered at each other to open the cells, but as the thick smoke filled the air, I knew my freedom from these chains would be different than what I’d first hoped.

It didn’t matter.

In the next life I would make things better. I wouldn’t fall victim to him ever again.
