100 Word Story – Death in Moonlight (Finale)

The constant struggle of one’s life is the constant fight for their life. Whether it’s the search for the most luxurious of items to ease their pain, removing poison from a deadly creature to eat for sustenance, or on the literal brink of death from injury, a person’s life is always fighting for something.

In this case, these women were trapped in a horrific game where there was only one prize at the end. They would have to use every tactic they could, avoid any threats, and fight as they tried to escape with ultimate prize: their lives. The faintest slip of the finger, a single misstep, or making the slightest of noise would bring disaster upon them.

Will they be able to escape…?


“Careful, bear trap on the right.”

I tried my best to stay on my feet as Nancy helped me walk through the forest. I threw my arm over her shoulder for more leverage and support.

I looked at her, my vision foggy, “Why did you come back for me…?”

Nancy looked back at me, “I don’t leave people behind. We’re gonna live forever.”

Just ahead of us was a large open gate that lead into a tall patch of grass. If we made it there, we could easily escape out pursuer.

Perhaps I’ll finally be able to see daylight again…
