No hope (Friday Fictioneers)
There was no way in. I waved my team mates back to the car. “I can’t see—”
Jack shook his head. “We have to find a way.”
“I know,” I spat at him. In daylight it was impossible to tell how secure the place was but I’d spied camera mounts, wires, and a well-worn path from booted feet. No hope.
“I have a plan,” whispered Melly.
I turned to her. “It better be a good one.”
“You won’t like it.”
She was right. But we got Matthew out. Turned out, he looked alright in a dress.
This is a Friday Fictioneers Prompt

Nice little story for a migraine. The dress at the end is a bit of comic relief after a tense rescue. 🙂
Thank you. Yeah I’ve been getting them chronically for the last twenty years, so at a certain point I can work through it. Thank you
That’s rough. You do well.
Thank you
Ha! Love that little twist at the end.
Thank you! The image made me laugh
Ha.. I guess we all look good in a dress when desperately needed.
Very true! 😉
Hope the head feels better! There are many migraine sufferers in my family. Definitely not fun.
This story, however, was fun!
Thank you Dale. Yes runs in my family too.
I needed a smile so I’m glad it worked!
Bummer. My sister’s on Relpax – she’s allergic to ibuprofin so is limited in what she can take – works really well for her…
Oh poor thing. Yeah it’s not fun.
Dear Laurie,
I hope by now your poor head is better. I’ve suffered quite a few of those myself…no fun.
I love your story and the twist at the end. I wrote one sort of similar a couple of years ago. Different theme, similar solution. If you’d care to read it here’s the link. https://rochellewisofffields.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/5-april-2013/
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle… I’d love to read it, I’ll have a look right now 😃 yes migraines are so horrible.
Hope you’re feeling better. Good for you, taking part whilst you’re suffering.
Ha ha well I knew I’d sleep better once I posted! Silly to be thinking of it
I hope you feel better, Laurie. Migraines are the pits! Great little story. I loved the dress at the end. That was unexpected!
Thanks Amy! 😆
Oh, this is great, suspense, adventure and humorouns resolution in just 100 words, that is great skill. I hope you feel better by now.
Thank you very much! It was fun to do. Yes I do feel better, thanks
Nice story. Sorry about the migraine. I get them too so I know how debilitating they can be.
Awful arent they? I’m sorry to hear you get them too. Glad you liked my story
Very good. Thinking outside the box always works.
Thank you 😃
