Was It Fate by DragonSkulls 100 Word Story writing prompt entry |
While in Iraq, my squad was ambushed and every member except Private Williams and I were killed. We had bags pulled over our heads, hands tied and brutally shoved into a van, then hauled off to God knows where. When we stopped, they dragged us out, put us on our knees and removed the hoods. We were in front of two recording cameras. Their leader shoved a paper in Williams' hand and told him to read it. He refused. I watched Williams die right there in the desert sand. He put the paper in my hand and, too, demanded that I read it aloud. Fearing for my own fate, I did as was told. My voice shook, "Seduce the heart of the devil with pirate art." Then he faced me and said, "There, now your entry adheres to rules and you know everyone was looking for those stupid words."
