99-word fiction: The stranger – part II
Following last week’s story, someone (I’ll mention no names but she’s called Sharon…) asked me what happened next. I went to find out…
The stranger stood at the bar, his coat tight around him. The bell chimed as the door opened. He turned.
A woman entered. Her wet hat and coat shone in the light and steam soon rose from them. At the bar she ordered vodka. She turned to the stranger then nodded to a small table in the dark corner and he followed her. They sat.
“I think you’ve something for me,” she said.
The stranger shook his head and smiled. Frowning, she opened her coat enough so he could see the gun.
“You’ve ten seconds to change your mind.”





This is good Chris!! I like the enigma of both characters! It looks like ‘The Stranger’ certainly has a past…!! Thank you for mentioning me. Kindest regards.
Very well done with that and I love the last line. Talk about a cliffhanger!
