Death by Dinner Conversation (Crime Humor/100 Word Story)
“Well, I didn’t mean to kill him.”
A sigh came with her guilty surrender. “Alright, maybe I did mean to.” She smoothed a napkin over her lap before reaching across the table to clasp the inspector’s hand. “Oh Detective, please understand. He was truly a slug of a man. Such boring dinner conversations, night after night. It drove me insane.”
“You killed your husband because of boring dinner conversations?”
No answer. Ever so casually, the woman returned to meal.
“You stabbed him several times,” The detective noted, exasperated. “With a butter knife.”
She sliced into her roast beef and shrugged. “Wouldn’t you?”
I’m still experimenting with writing an 100 word story. Give it a try, it’s a fun challenge.
Stay safe and keep writing!

The Basil Sprites (100 Word Fantasy Story)
Hidden under basil leaves, they sit, aglow. With their firefly kisses and rice paper wings, they wait for the first sprig of spring to sprout. Wandering travelers fondly call them diminutive deities. In unwavering tradition, farmers tie bells or chimes to branches, to win favor with these guardians of the field.
Threads of golden luck tucked in their clutches, the little spirits bless the harvest of many. Be weary, dear friends. Do not ravage the earth nor mistreat nature itself. Common basil sprites will become vengeful imps, inviting weeds and death onto your land. Best to keep the bells ringing.
Can you believe inspiration for this short story came from me picking basil from my backyard? Neither can I. Guess inspiration is funny like that.
Wanted to go out of my comfort zone and write an 100 word story, which I’ve never done before. It was one of my goals for the month. Plus, I felt like dabbling in the fantasy genre today. Hope you guys enjoy this tiny tale.
Stay safe and keep writing.
