The Flight

Glowering was what she did best

What is WonHundred Word Wednesdays? It’s when a group of amazing authors and I write 100 word stories all based on the same short prompt and post them. All the variations are fun to read.

Glowering was what she did best. Normally she took pleasure from the children shrinking back from her gaze. It kept them out of her beans. Her dour disposition was as familiar as the paths about her cottage. Today, however, she wished the skill away.

The child squirmed in her arms as she let the darkness surround them. Glancing over her shoulder she whispered, “I know child. Not the face you want, but I’m what you have.” The path behind remained clear. She swore that was the glow of light though. They were gaining and the tower was still far away.

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.
