Challenge
100 words
I like 6 and 15-word stories, but sometimes I like having a little more room to flesh out the story. If you agree, here's your space to do that. Write a short-short story 100 words or less. All genres and styles welcome. Looking forward to reading yours!

“Trust me. J.P.’s alright.”
Max suspiciously looks at J.P. waiting twenty meters away.

Tom signals J.P. to come over.
“J.P. you’re on watch, Tom, diversion. Me, I collect”
Tom and J.P. nod.
“First target in sight. Ready? Go!”
Tom walks towards the target and bump into him, making his bag fall on the ground. Max picks it up and flee running.
Away from prying eyes, Max, Tom and J.P. celebrate their victory.
“Halloween is my favorite day” says Tom, his mouth full of candies.
