Frightened (75)


Keys, where were the keys? Amber had no idea; she was going to leave if she had to go on foot. She heard a gunshot and momentarily froze. The shots got closer; Amber grabbed a screwdriver jamming it in the ignition.

Speeding off into the night she was certain that they could never find her. Fleeing was far better than letting them know she was frightened.

Are the gunshots for Amber? Where did she learn to use a screwdriver like that? Why is she frightened? Who is she fleeing from?

The word is frightened, the limit was set at 75 words. This post comes in at 66; click the link to go to M3 and find official rules to make the third addition of  Flash in the Pan. The first  edition is available for free.

Ugh. Google ate my comment...

What do you mean where did she learn it? I though everyone knew how to break an ignition. The shots are because she laid the trap well enough to get the others caught and not her. She is a smart cookie :)

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.
