This is Cherrie-Sakura's story! NOT MINE. Sorry, I thought it was already in the story!
Hey Fictioners,
So, I wasn't going to enter this competition. But I thought 'What the heck? If KK-san and KO-chan can do it, so can I!' So I did :)
There were so many entries for this competition; more than I expected! TazzybizzyNya really got some good feedback for her idea.
So anyway, this is mine. I don't think it's good at all, but it's actually REALLY hard writing a story in less than one hundred words. I urge anyone brave enough to try it; it was challening, yet fun!
TOTAL WORD COUNT: Exactly 100, not including Author's Notes :P
The Cupcake Thief
It was too quiet, he mused, venturing downstairs, peering around the empty cafe.
He found her in the kitchen, poking around in Keiichirou's latest batch of creativity; a tray of delicately iced cupcakes. Leaning against the doorframe, he watched her, a smirk curling his lips and twinkling in his icy eyes.
"What are you doing?"
She squeaked, jumped, and whipped around, blushing furiously.
"N-nothing! I'm just going!"
She scurried past him, but he stopped her.
"Strawberry!"
She turned.
"You forgot something."
Their fingers brushed as she took the offered cupcake, and they shared a rare small smile... Then she was gone.
See, the ending is really irking me. I didn't know how to finish it, and by the time I'd thought of what I wanted to say, I only had seven words left! Gah!
Not my best work, by far. Oh well. I'm proud of myself for actually DOING it and not going overboard with description.
What'd you think, KK-san? For once, I was restricted to little description! LOL!
Love to my friends, readers, and those who review,
Yours,
Cherrie S.
