Notes: It's been a while since I wrote a vignette and I like the thought that goes into it. Craft a scene in 100 words. It's a great exercise in self-editing as well. Trying to make a striking scene in so few words...
Priorities
Badou's hands felt numb. Achingly cold as he writhed his fingers above his head. The creak of worn leather crawled over his ears and his shoulders protested with exhaustion. Locked in darkness he listened for a sound that he wasn't alone. Someone would come.
Maybe save him…
…however doubtful.
Blind. His other senses reported little, numbed from years of abuse.
He licked at the plug between his teeth. His first concern shouldn't have been for a cigarette; the cement bit into his knees, his back ached, but first on his mind was the distinct lack of smoke in his lungs.
