Rule: 100 words or fewer, use a title to help explain the story.
Starter: The voice on the phone....
Based on a True Story
The voice on the phone was gravelly, low.
"Is this Mrs. White?"
"Yes," I replied, thinking it was someone from church.
"Mrs. White, I'm calling to tell you we have kidnapped your husband." The world stopped.
"Who is this?" I demanded.
"You don't need to know. Just get ready to meet me if you want to see your husband again."
My vision went white, and I sank to my bed. "Meet you? Meet you where? I want to talk to my husband!" My daughter walked in. "Call your dad's cell phone right now!" I said, covering the receiver I held.
Kinda mean to leave you hangin' like that, isn't it, but that's the 100 word limit.
