Anxious Meeting
Write a story in 100 Words (Fiction)
You hover your hand over the doorknob, your palms sweaty, and you swallow hard as you stand outside your supervisor’s office. Your mind reels through every poor decision you’ve made this past week, knowing that any of them could earn you this reprimand. You remind yourself that you’re not the worst employee. You’re always on time and taking extra work and shifts; you’re always polite. Blanching, your stomach clenches as you enter the small office and stand before his desk.
“Do you know why I’ve called you in today?”
You shake your head, swallowing.
“You’re being promoted.” He beams, “Congratulations.”

Escapement
Lucy lulled between sleep and awake, thoughts blurred and scattered as sleep threatened to overcome her once more. An alarm blared, and swear words cascaded from her mouth; she slapped at the cruel bell near her head–success. As she rolled over, she checked her watch, glared at the early numbers, and groaned. Lucy extracted herself from her blanket nest and began descending the long ladder. Lucy’s bunk was the twenty-second pod; the hatch at the bottom was already open as she made her way to her next goal– breakfast.

Dead and Wearing Green
She was wearing that green dress when I first saw her, five years ago to the day. Flowing meadow fabric draped over long legs, thick auburn hair flowing down her back. That smile. Of course, she is still beautiful now. But now she is no longer alive.
