Listless (75)


The evening sun was sinking quickly, Anna paced quickly back and forth. The waiting was torture; he did not deserve to be here. She should have been on that plane. Richard took her place, and now she waited for news that she was not sure she could take.

She grew listless flipping through the magazines. The doctor finally came out and the look on his face made her certain that the news was not good.


Did the plane crash? Why did Richard take her place? Is the news as bad as she thinks it is?

The word is listless, and the limit for January is 75 words. This post comes in at exactly that. Click the link to see Red's guidelines.

I think he got on the plane so she could stay home, had a claustrophobic attack and they had to turn the plane around to bring him back to the hospital.

What?

Crystal (100)

He kept shouting out over the newscaster. The noise was ringing in her ears, making her head pound and her ears build pressure. Blood pressure rising with her temper she picked up the glass and flung it. “What the hell are you doing?” “Trying to get you to shut up.” “You could have killed me.” “It’d have been better than breaking my crystal.” _________________________________________________________________________________ Who is she? Why would she rather kill him then break her crystal? The word is crystal . The limit for this post was 100 words, this one comes in at 63. Click the link to be taken to M3 and the official rules.
