Flash Fiction Friday

It’s been a few weeks, so let’s give the Random Word Generator a spin…

• doughnut
• panther
• showcase
• loan
• profit

And here’s my 100-word story using those five words:

“Whaddaya say, Dougie?”

Arnelli watched me as he sipped his coffee.

“I dunno,” I said, picking at my doughnut.

“Look, you owe Castello from that loan you took. Get the diamond, and I’ll pay off Castello. We both profit.”

“I still dunno. It’s in a guarded showcase—“

“You’ll be like the Pink Panther, no-one will see you.”

I didn’t dare tell him the Pink Panther was the jewel, not the thief. I also didn’t dare tell him about the deal I already made with Castello. He’ll find out soon enough, though.

Just as soon as he finishes his coffee.

Have a good weekend!
