Flash Fiction - Arrested


Flash Fiction: A piece of fiction that is extremely brief, usually less than a few hundred words
The Challenge: Write a piece in 100 words or less using the prompt…
The Prompt: We could get arrested for this

Lightning flashed across the clouds, illuminating the dry creek bed for barely a moment. “Are you sure about this?” I hissed just as Jackson struck a match.

A sardonic grin spread across Jackson’s face. “Yeah. It’ll be fun.”

“We could get arrested for this.”

Jackson shrugged. “That’s what makes it fun.”

His laughter sent prickles of fear down my spine. The rag in the bottle crackled as flames licked at the gasoline. 

“You ready?”

I shook my head, unable to force the words past the lump in my throat.

The bottle flew through the air, exploding against the car. “Run!”
