Mrs. Writes-a-Latte

Dark

She heard hushed voices. Instinctively, she stiffened.

I can wield a weapon. I can do this, she told herself as she braved through the corridor. She had never gotten into a physical fight before. Ever. But if it came to ‘do or die’, she would rather do than just die.

She fumbled in her purse for keys and pepper spray wishing she could see better. Poised to spray whoever crossed her first, she carefully turned the key in her lock and felt that it grew quiet.

She pushed the door open.

“Surprise!” her sisters yelled as the lights came on.

In an effort to present myself with a creative challenge, yet take the pressure off and be regular, I’ve committed to myself to write a post with 100 words in the content every week. To make choosing the topic easier, I have assigned an alphabet to each week. For example, Week 1 (Jan 1-7) – A, Week 2 (Jan 8-14) – B, and so on. So in 52 weeks, the whole alphabet will be covered twice.

If you want to join in, feel free to write on any topic (you don’t need to adhere to A, B, C) and write any day of the week. The link will open every Monday, 8 AM IST and will be open till the following Monday, 7:55 AM IST.
