Here’s my short story in exactly 100 words …
Threeās a Crowd
The waves lap at the pristine shore of an island thousands of miles from any mainland. My guitar washed up last week, and despite the hammering the salt waves and blazing sun gave it, a little tuning has it sounding lovely. But then, after youāve been alone for a month, any other voice but your own is bound to sound good.
In the distance, I spy a hand-carved log boat. Manned by three men and oars, it takes a while to reach me. They land upwind of me. The stench reaches me before they do.
Three men. Large knives. Cook-pot.
