The last piece – 100 word fiction

It had been four days the food packages had not come to the refugee camp. Children were dying of hunger and men felt helpless and dependent on the helicoper God. Neena dived in the trash can to find something to support her toddler. Her eyes fell on a couple of slices of bread, sadly a dog stared as she picked it up. She quickly fed her child the slice trying to eat the other. She nibbled a piece of slice making a heart and offered the rest to the dog. She was a mother after all!

The Perfect Shot – 100 word fiction

‘There it is! Cliff we saw in the marvellous picture online!” he pointed, as they hiked to the summit to click the best picture!

She adjusted her tripod facing the sunset, he closed in behind her with devious intentions. Finally he would get rid of her!

He readied himself to give her a push, she bent on one knee as he had taught her the best angle for shots.

A slip and he tumbled sliding down, he held her hand. She left his to get the best action shot of a man falling off a cliff. Karma pays, she smiled.

The Wait – FRIDAY FICTIONEERS (100 words)

The Saturday market where locals came to sell goods had become my interest in this new lonely city.

My eyes fell on a dilapidated stall among the buzzing stalls selling jams, olives, cheese

“Whats the price of this bronze medal?” intrigued I asked the old lady.

Picking up the medal among various inconsequential things her trembling voice said, “These aren’t for sale child, I am waiting for my love who has gone to fight the World War, they say it will be over soon, he would recognise these and come back to me.”

Choked with emotion I silently walked away.
