What if He Didn't Take the Knife?

by Balin Lord of Moria

What if Larry didn't give the wine from the convenience store to the wandering drunk, and thus didn't acquire the pocket knife he used to cut himself free from Fawn's rope? Drabble.

What if He Didn't Take the Knife?

---

Fawn took all of Larry's money, and fled with it. "You forgot to pay me for the wine."

Larry was tied to the bed. He couldn't reach his clothes, or anything else. Nor could he untie himself. He was helpless!

Two hours later, someone knocked on the door. "Are you finished in there, or not, people?" somebody said.

Larry shouted, "Help! Fawn tied me to the bed! I need to get free!"

There was silence for a moment. Then, "We'll get you out at sunrise. Hang on till then, mister."

It was too late for Larry to find true love!

BANG!
