Welcome to The Blogging from A-Z Challenge April 2014! This year, I’m offering up a story – each one 100 words or fewer - for each letter of the alphabet.
Some are heartfelt, poignant, sweet. Others are…not.
I hope you enjoy them.
The sleek, blood-red convertible was rented, as was the boy toy behind the wheel, but I had no intention of bringing either of them back.

NO RETURN

Sexy or ominous?
ReplyDeleteSue - thanks!
ReplyDeleteSusan - hmm, both? :)
Red convertible and the rented boy toy are a deadly combination.
ReplyDeleteThat would make a great first line for a thriller, methinks. Nice one, Madeline.
ReplyDeleteI have the same question as Susan. Leaning more towards ominous. :D
ReplyDeleteAll I can think of is murder. Maybe sex and then murder. Oh dear!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have a talent for the dark, Madeline. :)
Ominous, tempting, mysterious, all in such few words! Impressive!

you might want to reconsider as far as the boy toy goes. :-)
ReplyDeleteSophie, Debi - :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I am just getting into writing some fiction and love it. I will definitely read more of your work!
ReplyDeleteHah! Oh, I want to see how this one is going to end...unless it's over a cliff. *gulp* How do you do that?

In twenty-five words, you established a ripe story line, with so many options. Oh so well done.

I love it! Each one of these tiny stories suggests enough material for an 80,000+ word novel. I'm impressed, Madeline.
ReplyDeleteOoo... I agree with above comments- this is a great and intriguing beginning. I wanna read more! :D
ReplyDeleteAs the robot in Lost in Space was want to say "Warning! Warning! Danger.'
