Unleash hell (hell is me) (Friday Fictioneers)
PHOTO PROMPT © Dale Rogerson
Sitting in the growing dark I stare at the phone. Any moment now it will ring. Any moment I will be called in. Any moment.
Any moment.
I saw the news. The landings. The attack. The dead. World-wide.
I’m the only one with the skill set to deal with this.
The one who stopped it the last time.
I stare at the phone.
Any moment.
I’ve already kitted up. Alien heart disruptor — invented by my father (now passed) — in my holster. My teams are ready. The shatter bombs in storage are already en route.
I wait.
Any moment.

Rambles, writing and amusing musings 
A deluded warrior? Or a forgotten hero? Lovely, Laurie
Thank you Neil, I love your interpretations, could be either. Could be the calm before the storm
There’s only one reason I can think of why they haven’t had the call already… that it’s already too late…!
Ooooooo I like that. It could well be. I wonder what she’ll do then?
It seems as if there is no one left to defend and fight for. Run and regroup since I smell a trap.
A great piece of suspenseful writing.
Aha! I like your thoughts. This might be her best plan indeed, James!
Uh oh… methinks the ones in charge are no more!
Oh, it could very well be… I wonder what she’ll do now? Thanks Dale!
Very interesting…
Maybe time to go out without waiting for the call. I don’t think it’s coming.
I think you are right. Time to take charge.
This is gripping!
Thank you!!
Found this so gripping 🙂
Thank you so much!
you’re welcome 🙂
Suspenseful. Well done story, Laurie.
They haven’t called me either. 🙂
Thank you! 🤣
Could be her boss has already been taken out. She may be on her own to save the world (again.) I like the tension building in your story.
I think you might be onto something. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
I think she would be quite disappointed if she isnt called in. A suspenseful piece
I heartily agree!
Great tension, but I’m thinking maybe this time it’s not going to work for her and her team.
Hmmm you might be right about that
Dear Laurie,
Great build of tension. The repetition of “any moment” brings it full circle. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you so much!
