December Blog Chain

Last month, the AW blog chain focused on drabbles (stories 100 words or less).  This month the bar has been set higher.  Actually lower - word count that is.  Below is my submission for the December blog chain - hint fiction (25 word stories), followed by a list of all chain participants.  Enjoy and

Write on.

Agent Wilson stared at the Senator’s body and then glanced at the fresh prick on his finger from zipping the hooker’s dress.  Then he collapsed.

    Wow! That's brilliant. You crammed an entire murder mystery in 25 words.

    I sense a conspiracy! These hint pieces are such wonderful teases, kind of like prompts unto themselves.

    Works on its own and as an opening hook.

    I like it!

    Never thought about using this as a hook or an expanded story. The point of this exercise was to basically give a story in 25 words.

    That said. Thank you all so much for your kind words.

    The KGB had an umbrella gun for poisoning people, but you've done them one better with the stripper zipper gun :)

    How relevant, given all the scandals that cropped up a couple years back. Short (duh) and sweet, and well done.

    Are they truly dead? Was it a sleeping potion? Now I want to know more. A quick little mistery.

    I suppose that's why they call this "hint fiction."

    Thanks again for the kind posts.
