100 Words

My wonderful girlfriend often likes to do a lot creative side projects. Last night I tried my hand at one of them as well.  Try to construct a short story in 100 words or less.  It being Halloween season and all I gave it a try and went for creepy:

"The days mail made the metal flap jump, then the papers crunched and crinkled through.  Tom noted what time the mailman came again. A pile had begun to push past the bed and down to the tree that had once smelled like pine.  It no longer smelled like pine. The fan swayed and had blown most of the nettles off the top branches.  It squeaked every 11 seconds.  Tom hadn’t noticed these things until this week.  Nettles scattered across his face he called out to the mailman but since his fall all he could muster was a whimper."

Hope you enjoyed it.  Check out one of my girlfriends blogs and "get to the good" with hand picked articles that are guaranteed to make you look cool at parties (for a while at least) at RIND!
