Ack! I am late with last Wednesday’s flash fiction. So the prompt was:”Why shouldn’t they help themselves, after the way they’d been treated?” And my 100 word story follows.
Chet scowled. Why shouldn’t they help themselves, after the way they’d been treated? “They tell us to guard the food and won’t explain. I’m sure they won’t miss two truffles. “
He grabbed them and held one under Larry’s nose. “Here. Quick. “
Larry bit down to a crunch and scrunched up his face. “Maybe these are rich people chocolate? You know, swallow them, not enjoy them. Like fish eggs. “
They gulped them down as the boss arrived. “Where are the diamonds? The chocolates had the ice in it for the switch.”
The two guards stared at the floor.
Now you can see how the other authors used the same prompt 🙂 :
