In order to get my writers blog mojo going, I’ve decided to start participating in the 100 Word Challenge again. I’ve also joined in on another project that is coming up soon, and I’ll share more details when that comes around. Until then, here is my entry for this week. I like it so much I’m thinking of turning it into a short. Don’t know how I got this line of crazy from “Uncomfortable”…but here it is!!

Sticky.
The heat was unbearable, the humidity – murder. A bead of sweat trickled down his neck into the smooth curve where it met his shoulder. Neither of us said a word, his focus had to be on his task.
The ropes tied tight, the blocks in place. Soon it would be over. Relief would be immense. No one would ever know what I had done.
With a final tug the task was complete. We both wrapped our hands around an end and lifted, whispering a farewell before we tossed it over the side.
I smiled, it was over.
“Your turn.”
Okay. I am totally mystified. What am I missing? I don’t understand – and yet I feel I should.
LOL. Is that mystified in a good way or a bad way?
Hmmm… why am I picturing cement overshoes? Very intriguing.
Hmmmm…I’m not sure why. *lol*
Hi Sarah…It’s been fun imagining various scenarios. The husband and his girlfriend getting rid of the wife, a botched robbery. Must be all those mysteries on 48 Hours.
Looking forward to reading more of your writing.
LOL! Glad I could get your imagination flowing with it! It was random, but fun!!
Wow! I loved it. I feel less gruesome. Lobster trap. HA!
LOL! A lobster trap! Great one!
Sounds like something nightmares are made out of.
LOL. Welcome home, Cheryl! Quite a post to come home and find, huh? *G* Like I said – no idea where it came from. Think I hang around Speck too much 😉
