Sisters in Crime is celebrating their 25th year. The Guppy chapter is all internet, so we can't get together to party. We are writing complete stories - in exactly 25 words. That's right. Beginning, middle, and end - and, it must be a crime story. Believe it or not, it's doable!
My story: RETRIBUTION
Fast Eddie fleeced a dozen dowagers, then showered gems on Sweet Sue. Bang, Bang, he's dead. Sue beat the rap with airtight alibi---times twelve.
Nobody said it had to be Great Literature!
Try your own 25-word story. Love story? Kid's story? History? Science Fiction? Fantasy? Memoir? And, of course, Mystery.
