Oh, yes, I hadn't thought of that ... I liked the setting ... maybe I'll try a longer piece set there. Thanks so much for reading

100 words yes...but I want MORE. I love that ending is neat and tidy, but leaves room for the reader to imagine what happens.

It’s got possibilities for more. I often see these as try outs, for stories and characters.

Man! I was walking down that eerie moon-lit corridor right behind you. Excellent scene-setting, Barrie! I really like the "burst" of micro-fiction. My original intention in writing 50-word stories was to use them as an exercise, but over the past two years, it has become my favorite form. Keep them coming.
