In 99 words (no more, no less) write a hello or a goodbye. You can pick any greeting that grabs you from howdy to fare thee well. It will be interesting to see how the collection intertwines the opposite greetings. Go where the prompt leads you.
This is my response to the March 30th Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction challenge; it is the latest episode in the series that started with the March 16th flash challenge, Gone Art. (see below for the episodes in sequence)
Keys, by D. Avery
“Hello again.”
The artist had stopped his work when Marlie approached. He was shirtless, little droplets of blood magnifying the added details of his phoenix, the blood tipped shard of stone in his hand.
“What are you doing?”
“I think you know. What are you doing down here again?”
“The lieutenant feels the animals are too dangerous, so he let me guard the artists and writers instead.”
The artist smiled. “But we are a danger to society. Aren’t you afraid? Of me?”
“You’re to be in the arena tonight.”
“I know.”
Marlie unlocked the cell.
“Good-bye.”
“Come with me.”
And Hello to your new website! I’m thrilled to see you adding to this story. It’s grabbed you as its author and I’m enjoying each new installment.
