Ashamed (100)

A stack of newspapers lay on the table so that guests could easily grab one as they entered the classroom. The headlines would be the day’s topic of discussion.


His suit was perfectly pressed as he stood before them waiting to see if any of them would come forward to admit they had played a part in the creation of disaster that was the headline. He felt himself becoming ashamed to have them in his orbit as he realized that all of them were involved but none of them were going to own up to what they had done.


What did the headlines hold? Is the entire class really in on the creation or is he paranoid? Will any of them own up to the part they played in the headlines?

No, children (everyone is someone's child) never take credit for their wrongdoing. The headline was a structural crash based on architectural blueprints the class made which was insanely expensive.

He is paranoid because he is really the one at fault because he should have know it was incorrect before the construction began...

Or something like that...

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.
