A brilliant light shined from the other side of the lake. The light reached Susan’s eyes before the sound reached her ears. Smiling, she grabbed her bag and walked to the right which took her around to the scene of the “accident.” When she got to the edge of the rubble, she shed alligator tears and listened to comments from the first responders.
“All eighty-three were killed.”
“There is no hope for reconstruction.”
“We’re speculating that is was no accident. We suspect terrorism.”
“Same MO as last week, over at Attila Lake.”
“It would take a big man to reach that rung.”
Susan turned away. There were definitely advantages to being a five foot, ninety-five pound gymnast. She spoke into her cell, “Mission completed.”
Max turned to his alibi and whispered, “All’s well. Mission is completed except for one more thing.” He spoke into his cell, “Police department.”

What a devious plot. That too from a person of faith. My, my. What the world has come to😂
You’re one up on me! 😀
Reblogged this on By the Mighty Mumford and commented:
GOOD RESPONSE TO THIS PROMPT!!!
That’s a great compliment. Thank you.
Oh! Great response to the prompt. (I have to keep my two sides of creativity separate) However, I love your writing.
Thanks, Faye. I’m not sure what lesson would be here except “one reaps what one sows.” Max will get his later I’m sure – perhaps from his alibi who has the goods on him. 😀 Even a crook can’t trust a crook.
