My son, Minimeder, wrote this Sunday evening. He was inspired by the events of a few hours previous. Enjoy!
Run
He dived for cover behind a storage box. “This may not be as easy as I thought,” he muttered. He dashed through a group of people who were eying the sights that were set out before them. He found his target and went to it as quickly as possible.
He opened the metal lid and beheld the sight before him. “Wow,” he thought. He grabbed the green that was inside the box and made a run for it.
He sat down in a seat and showed the men in black what he had done. “You’ve done well,” one of them said, setting down a fork beside him. “Now, lets eat.”

Very well written…excellent first paragraph gets the story going with action!
And a mystery. Wonder what is the ‘green’ that he grabbed.

I guess I should have put it in the notes at the end, but I thought he did a good job of showing. It’s an all you can eat buffet.

Suspense, adventure and a twist – well done!
I suspect the author was just as talented as the main character in getting the good stuff at the place that inspired this story

Great action-packed story with mystery. I didn’t know what the green was, either, but that could have easily been fixed. Well done!

Good stuff! I like the uncertainty of what exactly the “green” is. All in all, a very nice piece of flash fiction!
