Aroused (100)

Phoenix had worked for months to achieve a new identity. Now it seemed the efforts had been in vain. She could not stay here and risk being found out, her life depended on moving on.


The sheriff’s curiosity had been aroused by a single letter. It would not be long before he figured out she was a fugitive; it was time to move on; she could not take the time to tell anyone goodbye.


Why is Phoenix a fugitive? Who sent the letter that made the sheriff suspicious? Was the letter sent to the sheriff or did he find it accidentally? Would staying put Phoenix's life in danger or simply send her to prison?

I think the letter is something he found whilst investigating something else. She is headed to prison because sometimes even justified crimes are punished.

Great flash!

It is a shame when the justified ones are punished.

Thanks!

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.
