Welcome to Wednesday’s flash fiction wherein I write, as part of a group, a flash fiction based on the same short prompt and post the story. I hope you enjoy this week’s contribution.
“Anyway, that’s when-”
Impatiently, I glanced at my watch heaving my best tragic sigh. “Shimon, I’d love to hear about your. . .”
“My dog being vented-”
“Yes. That,” I said cutting him off. “But this scan‘s gotta run before morning shift. . .” I trailed off.
“Oh, right! Get on Miss Ethelinda.” He grinned warmly.
Dashing for my station I slipped into my seat activating my special program. I wasn’t too late. The security systems, all of them, started idly talking, ignoring their primary programming.
The first explosion boomed moments later. Twisting, I stunned Shimon as his com squawked.
Don’t forget to read the other’s takes on the prompt. More stories go up throughout the day. Be sure to check our page on Facebook for updates as everything becomes available: WonHundred Words.
