Lights Out

.1

Martha took a long drink from the bottle of rum and passed it over to Luther. Smiling, she watched him gulp it down. Adorable. 2

The thunder crashed outside the tiny hotel room they shared, and in the flickering electricity she could see the worry on his face. 3

"Don't you think we should be headed somewhere safe? The radio said there was a tornado warning in effect..." 4

"Oh no, Luther, we'll be just fine," she assured him. He didn't like the smile she gave him, but he attributed it to the fact that he was half drunk. 5

With a huge clap of thunder, the lights went out.6

"Luther?"7

"Yeah?"8

"You are a cheating bastard."9

Only one came out of the darkness.10

*shrug* It's hard limiting yourself like that...well, I gave it a try anyway.

    This was really good! You used the limited amount of words very well! It was like watching a movie scene
    Thanks for this read and good luck with all you do!

    Thanky! *blushes* I had to rewrite several times, it was harder than I thought to have exactly 120...not even sure I do, I have little to no faith in my counting abilities. Thanks again, glad you enjoyed it.

    OK WOW!
    Totally did not see that coming. I had absolutely no idea where this was headed, but it was not here that is for sure!
    I like the twist at the end. 120 words does not seem to give much lattitude, but you have used them well.

    Oh my, I guess she knew all along what she was doing. Unfortunately when they find the body she'd better be longgone.

    It's a cool twist at the end, gave me a little start at first.

    Nicely written. A lot of emotion in there. I could understand how she felt even though it was rather short. Nice write.

    yay

    Scares the pooh outta me. The ending really has a powerful effect, and I like the bastard part. Great job.
