Lights Out | A 100 Word Story

#931 | 6 The Lovers | Bard's Arcana

The sweat stain on my back started to make me squirm in my seat. The radio tells me it’s almost midnight and I’m getting tired of waiting.

“Shit!” I glance at my phone and realize it’s dead. The call I’d been waiting for the last five hours might’ve come already and I had no idea. A search warrant for the apartment our victim shares with her boyfriend.

I watched him come home from work and walk around his third floor apartment from the windows. Looking now the lights are out. I turn off my car. Time to wake him up.

Romeo & Juliet - The Prologue

CHORUS 
Two households, both alike in dignity
(In fair Verona, where we lay our scene),
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.
