fiftywords (BLOOD): A Night Swim
Moonlight glistened in the swirls of the river. From somewhere, the steady thud of guards on patrol.
Still, the young girl crouched and watched, waiting. Behind her, a man sat motionless, lifeless. Blood pooled.
It was getting cold.
Suddenly, lights flashed. She sheathed her dagger and jumped into the river.
This is my submission for the #fiftywords series by @miniature-tiger, so titled because the story has to be kept to 50 words. This week's theme is BLOOD. Check it out!
