Sarah at Slouching Past 40 challenged her readers to write a story in 100 words. This is my submission and my true story:
It was a Sunday night and she’d opted not to stay at her fiancé’s house but head back to her place to start off the week.
She couldn’t put her finger on it, the house simply “felt funny.” Still, she saw nothing unusual in the semi-darkness. Flipping lights as she went, she walked toward the bedroom.
As she reached for the closet door, he stepped out.
“Please don’t,” he asked as she backed away, reaching for the phone. For a moment she almost stopped. If he just left, it would be okay.
Then, “No. Never again.” She dialed the police.

Very creepy. Well done.
Wow. That must have been so frightening.
Nicely done!
Oh my. Any chance we could get the more than 100 words version?!
Oooh, I've been waiting for this!!!
Wow...speechless.
Well spoken. Fierce in its brevity, too.
Wow. I'd love to hear the rest of the story, too.
Oooooo, I need part two. You should write novels!
What?! I mean - I'm impressed by the 100 words and all that, but I want to know what happened!
