Two, Two... Two Stories in One!

I'm so far behind, I thought I was first!

I have been playing hooky.

I admit it.

Shoot me...

please.

I am in the middle of preparing

for a new adventure in life

and have not used my time wisely...

what a surprise.

Okay, I skipped last week

and I feel terribly guilty,

so I am posting two stories today...

last week's assignment

and this week's assignment.

For those of you who are joining us

for the first time, you may be wondering

about Saturday Centus.

What is Saturday Centus?

It is a themed writing meme.

Each Saturday, Ms. Matlock will give

a writing prompt.

Your assignment...

if you choose to accept it...

is to write a 100 word story.

Yes, 100 words or less...

not including the "prompt words".

Oh, and the prompt words can

be used anywhere in your story!

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

The writing prompt is good for the entire week,

so you can join in at any time!

Since I haven't had enough time

to post on Saturday Centus,

I certainly don't have enough time

for a clever introduction.

So here they are.

THIS WEEK'S PROMPT:

It was a dark and stormy night.

His survival instinct kicked in. He knew his life was on the line. One slip of the tongue could result in fiery hell.

The interrogator showed no mercy. Answer or die. It was as simple as that.

His mind was blank. He mustn’t let confusion show.

“Do you even remember that day?” the interrogator asked through clenched teeth.

“Yes, I do!” he sputtered. “It was a dark and stormy night.”

The minute he uttered those words, he knew it was over.

The interrogator smirked and turned out the lights.

“If you ever forget our anniversary again, I will hurt you.”

LAST WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT:

Take any other SC stories (yours or someone elses) and using ANOTHER 100 WORDS...tell us the "rest of the story".

Please copy and paste the first story so we can read both entries easily.
So...
A 100 word story that tells the rest of any previous Saturday Centus!

"Case Solved"

Part One

I had never been more tired. I couldn’t relax. I couldn’t sleep. If I closed my eyes, I saw the horror of the most gruesome crime scene I had ever investigated. What kind of animal could do those perverted, sadistic things to women? I knew I should be out looking for him, but my investigation was at a dead end. My mind needed a break. My feet needed some rest.

I settled into the comfortable movie theatre seat with awkward 3D glasses perched on my nose, a small tub of popcorn on my lap, and a bottle of water lodged into the cup holder, and I felt my body begin to relax. It felt like my exhausted body was melting in the chair.

Then I felt his hot breath on the back of my neck.

Part Two

“Excuse me, mam, did you drop these?” he whispered into my ear.

I froze in place moving only my eyes to see the recognizable object in his hand.

I tried to slow my breathing to hide my emotions.

“Those are not mine,” I replied without ever turning my head to meet his eyes.

Had he followed me here?

I jumped as he slowly teased the object across the back of my neck.

“Give me my panties!” I said as I snatched them from his hand.

“Then don’t leave them on my floor,” he laughed as he kissed my cheek and put a sheltering arm around my shoulder.
