“In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about a mouse.”
– a prompt for this week’s CW piece.

There it was again – an unexplained pit in her stomach. As if someone was watching her.
Following her.
There was no one in sight, but she couldn’t shake off the uneasiness.
She tried to run, but tripped and fell to her knees.
A tall shadow appeared in the puddle in front of her.
She raised her head hesitantly to assess the situation.
“There you are, sweetheart” – he said, and extended his hand, but Emma remained on the ground.
“I said I would take care of you. I’d never let you fall” – he said, pulling her up by the hair.

Awww. This is interesting.
I read every word and I wanted more.
Who was he?
Why was Emma scared of him?
But it’s a 99 word post.😔

Thank you so much for reading and letting me know that you enjoyed it.
There can be so many different answers to those questions. 99-word stories are good and bad for that reason. I think that he was her stalker. Someone she knew back in the day, but thought she got away from.

Oh no! Poor Emma!
Maybe it will end in a love story between the mouse and owl? 😉

You can never be sure. Stockholm syndrome is a syndrome for a reason.
