August Drabble Challenge: MURDER!
Tell me a story using good, solid prose in exactly 100 words. This month, tie it in to MURDER. Not necessarily the act itself, but that'll be fine, too; use your imagination. I want a super short story somehow related to doin' murder. No need to tag me, I'll read all the entries in September and select a winner.
Gross Anatomy
"Now, take off all of your clothes," he instructed his victim. He had led him at gunpoint to the hospital morgue. He extended to him some burlap, enough to wrap him.
There were the back-and-forth refusals, then gunpoint compliance. Now naked, the man wrapped himself in the burlap. The latch in the floor opened an underfloor chamber of wrapped cadavers floating in formaldehyde. He fired one bullet into his victim's chest, and he fell in. He slammed the door shut, flush with the floor.
The anatomy students would be surprised to find their cadaver had a bullet in his chest.
