100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups – Week #51
The line was drawn the demands were set, there was no turning back. They came at us from all sides. Which way do we go? There is no one to turn to. We hid in alley ways. We ducked into the corner of the night. They kept coming. Who do you trust? They’re all in on it. Lies. How did it come to this. We will never give up. What will they try next? We’ll never know. Always be aware without fear. Fear will be our down fall. Who are they? What are they? They are called, THE ONE PERCENT.

Nicely done. The absence of detail makes it scarier still.

This is terrific — I have my own opinions, as I’m sure many do, but I love the ambivalence of the text, up to the last sentence. Beautiful!

The short, stark sentences made the action faster.
