I'm joining Jenny Matlock for Saturday Centus. This is such a fun event, it really makes you stretch and use your imagination! Every week we are given a prompt and are to write a story of 100 words or less using the prompt in it's original form. Many thanks to Mr. Jenny for some fun ideas. Make sure to visit Jenny's blog to read some great examples of short story writing. Here is my contribution for week 5. The prompt is in blue.Rounding the corner of Main Street, a quick glance over my shoulder. The hulking man who had been shadowing me for blocks was nowhere in sight. Spying a funky little vintage boutique, I darted in and grabbed a large felt hat and muddy brown poncho, ditching my bright orange T-shirt in the dressing room. Throwing a fifty on the counter, I slipped out the rear exit. I needed a place to lay low, let the heat die down. Creeping out of the alley, I spotted the perfect sanctuary.
I settled into the comfortable movie theater seat with awkward 3D glasses perched on my nose, a small tub of popcorn on my lap, and a bottle of water lodged into the seat holder, hoping to escape this nightmare for a few hours.

Glad you escaped...so you can write again next week! :) I enjoyed...thanks!
Such drama! I loved this post. I guess ducking into a movie theater isn't such a bad idea after all! Great job!
Oh, Kat! Great writing! And I also loved last week's...amazing! I was not expecting that ending.(Can I really be that far behind? I am up to my elbows in baby bottles!) Your T post was fun! I love the bell for the cemetery plot! They have them in New Orleans, you know! lol I hope you are having a great weekend!...hugs...Debbie
I love a great mystery. Thanks for the ride.
Very good and intriguing. Just what are you hiding from LOL. Great post.
I hate stalkers! I hope your story doesn't turn out a horror movie lol
...or lol I should say I hope your movie isn't a horror , that would suck hey.
Kat, you have the greatest imagination. Love your story. Now I am all spooky. lol Great job with it. Hope you are having a super weekend. Hugs, Marty
I think we need a prequel as much as a sequel...tell us more!!
Oh, I liked this - so very Guy Noir (if you listen to Prairie Home Companion)...especially loved the line about throwing the fifty on the counter, I could see it happen just like that!
Intrigue! Nothing like it to keep me wanting more!!! Come on! Chapter two........
very exciting, these stories are getting better and better with each click - I am afraid mine falls short this week - I just couldn't get into it! Way to go!
Oh my, that was exciting! My imagination is running wild until you mention the word "heat". Very captivating!
Thanks for the tip on the archival glass, Kat! I had never heard of it!...Debbie

Sounds mysterious and makes me want to read more!
You are such a great writer, Kat, and I love mysteries that's why I love to read Greg Iles books.... Christine
Now they say we write what we know, so I want to know where this story came from deep inside of you?
Computer problems have kept me away, but honey, my new one has me flying around the internet!
