Here’s my short story in exactly 100 words …

Three’s a Crowd

The waves lap at the pristine shore of an island thousands
of miles from any mainland. My guitar washed up last week, and despite the
hammering the salt waves and blazing sun gave it, a little tuning has it
sounding lovely. But then, after you’ve been alone for a month, any other voice
but your own is bound to sound good.

In the distance, I spy a hand-carved log boat. Manned by
three men and oars, it takes a while to reach me. They land upwind of me. The
stench reaches me before they do.

Three men. Large knives. Cook-pot.
