WonHundred Word Wednesday: Outside the Cabin

Hey readers! I'm a little late today, but hey! I'm here! That's three for three! :) Without further ado!

The prompt: Outside the cabin, the wind howled through the trees

My story:

Callie crouched beneath the darkened window of an upstairs room. She peered out the window. Outside the cabin, the wind howled through the trees, making shadows nearly indiscernible. But her trained eye found them. Ten enemies, waiting for the command to attack. A glance at her watch made her swear under her breath.  There was only an hour to get back and deliver the package. She couldn’t waste any more time. Scott’s life depended on her success. She inched the window open, grateful it didn’t squeak. Raising her rifle, Callie took aim at the first target and squeezed the trigger.

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Regret

It's Wednesday, everyone! Here's this week's flash fiction.

The prompt: This wasn’t where he wanted to be

My story:

Five nights. Five nights in a row now he’d sat in the same spot on this couch playing video games. He had been so sure this was what he wanted. Time. Time alone, to do what ever he wanted. He had expected a feeling of freedom, not this crushing weight on his heart. Not the doubt overshadowing every thought and every action. What had he done? This wasn’t where he wanted to be. He wanted to be with her, but was he too late? There was only one way to know. He grabbed his coat and ran out the door.

WonHundred Word Wednesday: The Curse

Hey readers! It's been a while, but with a new year, I want to work on my writing and these prompts help me out a lot. Plus they are lots of fun! Here's this weeks' prompt, I hope you enjoy it!

The prompt: The whole family had been cursed since

My story:

Annia looked out over the graveyard. She clutched the medallion in one hand, an ancient sword in the other. One task left, and she would be free. Her whole family had been cursed since her ancestor stole the medallion centuries ago. The price grew higher with each passing generation, and Annia was ready to end it once and for all. The journey had been long and hard. But now, all she had to do was return the medallion to its proper place in the crypt. If only it were that easy. She gripped the sword tightly, stepping into the shadows.

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Drastic Action

Good afternoon, dear readers! Today is Wednesday and I've prepared a 100 word story for your reading pleasure. 

The prompt: More and more people were refusing to obey the laws.

My story:

Sheriff Williams looked out the window over the town center. Even from there, he could see the crime taking place on his streets. Pick pockets, thieves stealing food from the vendors, and illegal sales in dark corners. More and more people were refusing to obey the laws., and as sheriff, the responsibility was his to control it.

He tapped the letter against his hand. It held permission from the king to do something drastic. He'd hoped it wouldn't come to this, such actions would bring the townspeople to their knees. But he'd tried everything else. 

He sighed. It was time.

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Terrible News

It's Wednesday again! This post is coming to you late today, but it is here! This week, I'm transporting you back to 1808 in England. Enjoy!

The prompt: He held her close before telling her the terrible news

My story:

Fredrick’s heart pounded as he waited Mr. Gardner’s decision. The old man looked him over, clearly assessing him. Painful seconds ticked by. “No,” he said at last.

“But, sir,” Fredrick began. Gardner glared at him. “If you would please reconsider.”

“My answer is no, no amount of gutless begging will convince me to change my mind. Now get off my land.”

Fredrick snatched his hat and left with haste. He went to the garden where he knew Georgine waited. The hopeful look in her eyes crushed him. He held her close before telling her the terrible news. “He said no.”

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Clearing Ground

Hey readers! Here we are at Wednesday again, can you believe it? Hope you're ready for this week's story!

The Prompt: He itched to clear the ground, to look out and see nothing

My Story:

He itched to clear the ground, to look out and see nothing but forest and lake. Muttering under his breath, he set to work.

Early the next morning, he stood at his window, hiding a smile in his cup of coffee. Smoke and ashes filled the air, but there was no obstruction to his sunrise. The firemen hadn’t arrived in time to save the building. It was the thought of her there with another man that drove him to it. She should have known better then to build a cabin facing his on their split land. She’d know better now.

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Not the First Time, Not the Last.

It's Wednesday! Here's my 100 word story for the week!

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

My story:

Damien hurried to the sink in the garage. It took three times washing his hands before they came clean. He retrieved the bundle from the car, opened the hidden compartment under a cupboard, and stashed it there before going inside. Red and blue light flashed through his window. Someone must have seen him, because the police were at his door. He wiped his hands on his jeans and took three steadying breaths. Composing his face into a calm expression was easy, he’d done it so often. Charming smile in place, he answered the door. “Hello, officers. Can I help you?”
