Rampage - A 100 Word Story

With this week's entry (as you'll hear in the audio) I'm also announcing a reading, by me, in Second Life. I'll be reading two of my stories at the Heron Island Performance Space this Tuesday, 16 March, at 6pm SLT (that's 9pm Eastern). I hope to see you there, and remember to vote for my story at the Weekly Challenge.

state fair. The wreckers will be here tomorrow."

Danielle's fingers wrapped around the remote. Her fingers caressed

She pushed it.

Giant batteries flared to life. The monster's eyes lit up, feet
rising, breaking free.

Danielle smiled, running toward her monster's waiting arms.

They had a rampage to go on.
