That time has come around again! It’s the 100 word challenge for the week, from Julia’s Place. This week’s prompt was ‘Wednesday’.
Here are mine and LimebirdKate’s offerings:

The only thing that kept Tony going through his parole was Marcy. It was Wednesday night, and as he walked into the pub he decided this was the last job he’d do for Skull. Tony was determined to clean up, spend his life with Marcy, his girl. Tony sat on a stool, keeping his piece hidden beneath the leather jacket. The door behind him opened. The bartender flashed the signal that his target arrived. Tony reached for his hip and swiveled on his stool to fire.
Marcy dropped, her words, “Surprise Tony” escaping her punctured chest in a bubbling whisper.

We were childhood sweethearts, you were my first and only love.
Every spare moment spent in each other’s arms.
Dates walking down by the river. Our fingers intertwined.
November was the month we married, snow fell softly outside that year.
Eight months later our first was born, followed three years later by the second.
Seventeen years on, the signs started to show.
Doctors shook their heads and told us the news. That year our first grandchild was born.
Another day came and went, I could feel you slipping away.
Yesterday was the day I lost you. It was a Wednesday.
Note: I found this week quite difficult. I wrote something first, but I couldn’t cut it down to 100 words. I scrapped it completely and was stuck for what to write. This song came on – Higher Love and this just came to me. I love musical inspiration for writing! 🙂
