99-word story: The Stranger – episode 15: the final episode

‘They’ll find you eventually,’ she said.

Headlights flooded the car’s interior.

‘I think you mean now.’

The woman turned. The car behind them accelerated. 

‘Floor it, she said. ‘We can still make it.’

The Stranger shook his head.

Another car blocked the road ahead.

‘Or maybe we should stop running,’ he said. “You wanted everything.’

She handed him a gun.

‘After seven years of marriage to you, I deserved everything.’

She lit the envelope and left it on the seat. They stood back-to-back in the street.

‘We’ve never been so close,’ he said. 

She smiled, then the shooting started.

The end.

  1. Finally, Chris! Nice ending!

  2. I do like micro-fiction 😁 this was a good’n too. My only note is — I wasn’t sure who the stranger was. It seems as though it’s the driver. But then it shifts to be the husband. Amazing ending though.
