100-word story
Can a story be told in as short as 100 words? And what if it is made in exactly 100 words excluding the title? What follows is a succinct endeavour to enthral. Lipstick strikes I stood on a bridge over a river when I discovered that I was in front of an underworld don. My boyfriend had kept me in the dark so that I deliver this dodgy package. I didn’t want to die or get raped. Smiling sweetly, I made a call. ‘Hi honey, the package was delivered to this gentleman at 67 Kimberley Avenue. But why on earth did you ask me to report him to the police?’ My mobile then fell into the river. The don swore my ex-boyfriend. And the reason I dropped my mobile is I had made this call to 999. - Ram Kallapiran
