Cops and Robbers [50 Word Story]
Red and blue lights flash. A cop car in hot pursuit of a yellow dump truck. The truck slams into a wall. Robbers slinging bags of stolen cash and Tommy guns spill out.
“Blam! Blam!” Gun blasts.
A shriek pierces the scene:
“Timmy! Put away your toys. Time for supper.”
It's been a while since I posted one of these for @jayna's 50 word story challenge but I couldn't resist this fun little idea for the prompt chase.
I've started to experiment with using medium a bit if you want to check me out on there. I have one flash fiction story posted with another one coming out tomorrow.
I love the surprise ending.
😄😇😄
Thanks @creatr :)
Sweet ending!! Wasn't expecting that.. great job
Thanks @ablaze! Glad you liked the twist :)
Ooooohhhhhhh my gosh. I think I'm losing it, but, at first I thought Timmy was shot XD I listen to too much emo music and/or hip hop. Also, this kid needs therapy, lolz.
I tricked you yet again @caleblailmusik :)
Kids playing cops and robbers need therapy these days? How times have changed.
I think the extent of the violence in the story was what I was referring to :P Cops and robbers for us as kids consisted of six shooters and "Ow! That's gonna sting in the mornin'!" (Referring to a gunshot wound :P )
Oh my gosh, great surprise ending, @cizzo. This story really made me think about the stark contrast of the all-too-realistic imaginary world and the pretend cops-and-robbers world. The imaginary version, once I realized what that was, made me smile. But before that I was gripped by suspense and dread!
Thank you kindly @jayna and for including this as a highlight.
I'm glad the twisted worked for you :)
