Beam Me Up! My 89 Word Story

When I sent in my last 100 Word Story, I knew that each reader could only submit a story once. To give more readers the chance to show their stuff I suppose. No matter. Since I got my 30 seconds of fame, my mind forgot to stop on that theme & insists on turning out little ideas, all condensed to the 100 word format!!

 

 

So I thought I will yield to my subconscious urge & write another, to put together with the 1st one about Love, - which I had decided not to send out, - to put into a file named, you got it, " 100 Word Stories ", or is it better to call it " My Collection of 100 Word Stories " if I write a few more?

 

 

Whatever for I have no idea! Just to test & exercise my creative mind I guess. As it has been said : It's not the destination that matters, but each moment of the journey.

 

What do you think about the one below? 89 words! Much easier to make it to 100 words or more, than to reduce a story of just 87 words, to have reasonable beginning ending.

 

 

** Beam Me Up ! ** (89 Words)

 

 

I entered the office wondering what hell my bad-tampered bossy Boss would give me today, like he usually does, to find him lying motionless on the floor. I thought he was dead!

Until the maintenance guy came in, opened up his chest , put in 4 new batteries & left. I was dumbfounded. He stood up cursing, growling & asked:

'What are you gawking at? Didn't you know? Never suspected?'

' Never Sir!' I said. 'Anyone else knows?'

He shot me a sly smile, came over & switched me off.
