The Wood Chipper -- ✏️5 Minute Freewrite Day 244✏️ -- 🌲🌲Wood🌲🌲
Chuck wheeled his portable wood chipper to the garage. Having spent the last three years in the near the stream on the back-half of his 10-acre wooded property, the yellow paint was nearly gone as rust had taken over the majority of the exterior.
Chuck wasn’t sure if it would even start. How could he get any work done if the chipper failed to start?
Chuck had spent the past three years on disability, but he finally had a shot at some real work. His lack of luck was about to change, but first, he needed to start the wood chipper.
After several tries, the beautiful sound of the rusty chipper rang out, and Chip couldn’t have been happier. He could now get to work, disposing of the body of the only man who was standing in his way of the job of his dreams.
Chuck was driven by fear and necessity, but did he really need to kill?
None of that mattered now.
