This is for TazzybizzyNya's contest for writing a "good" story in 100 words or less. Which led to having a whole story of oneshots that are 100 words long each: this. ((sighs)) You know, these are a lot harder to write than they seem!
Story: 100 words
With ANs: 180 words
A young woman emerged from concealment, walking tentatively to a glass-enclosed artifact. It was a dead teenage girl, preserved in an airtight case. The woman put her hand on the glass.
"Oh, Ichigo!" she murmured, hanging her head in grief. She couldn't bear looking at the other cases, but she couldn't not look at them. Reverently, she circulated the room, paying her respects to the dead. "I'm so sorry."
"The best I can do is making sure they'll never find me," she whispered, ripping a reward for the missing bird-girl off the wall before slipping out of the silent museum.
All in favor of having a 100-word oneshot one chapter and the full(er) length one the next vote now. ((grins)) Please read and review! I hope you liked!
