One prompt. 100 words. This week’s prompt is “Spare some change, please?” Check out my version and then you can go see what awesomeness the other authors came up with based on the same prompt!
From where I sat on the park bench, I could see the front of the ambassador’s home. I watched closely over the newspaper, sunglasses hiding my eyes—and my earpiece. The homeless man shuffled up the sidewalk near me. I had already sized him up and found his weak points—if it came to that—the leg with the limp and the arm held closely to his side. He paused near the bench.
“Spare some change, please?”
I didn’t turn my head. “Jake.” I sighed. “For this mission to work we can’t be seen together.”
He chuckled and shambled away.



nice. Jake seems like a joker. It would be fun to see their relationship in more interactions. 🙂

I like Jake already! He sounds like someone I’d want to work with. I really want to know what this mission is now!

Hahaha I love it! That’s so awesome. And I love that they were sizing up the dude before he got there.
