A Child’s Wish | A 100 Word Story

#770 - Banjhakri and Banjhakrini

The children were bound to chairs, unable to speak or movie. They were asleep. Taken from their homes in the middle of the night. Then deposited here, together. Waiting.

A red light blinks only. The cameras are rolling. Each child receiving its own so no one misses the point. They’ve been brought here on purpose and for good reason.

They each wished someone would steal them away to live happily ever after.

Little did they know this wish came at a very steep price. A hooded figure pushed a cart with a sheet covering it; a means to an end.
