Free Writing Fridays
#016 Your 100 Word Story
Let’s get this weekend write-life started! Write whatever sparks joy for you.
Here’s how:
Exactly 100 words. Not 99 or 101. The Word Count Police are tracking!
Genre? Writer’s choice! So long as you give us all the thrills and the feels.
To Fic or to Non-Fic? You decide. What matters most is that you’re satisfied with the output.
Copy/paste your words in the comments, then share on your own Substack, and maybe, share to social media!

Pedal Like The Wind
Dark clouds gather without warning. The gentle breeze quickens, the crackle of the dried maize stalks whispers malevolently. The whirr of wheels is drowned out by the rustling of leaves. The atmosphere grows claustrophobic, dense, stifling. Pushing on, pedalling faster. Outerwear retains the heat and creates its own microclimate. Pedal like the wind, escape the weather front. The first spots are exaggerated, oversized. Faster, but no match for the clouds sprinting towards you, alongside, over you. Incessant now, the deluge. Laughing now, what else is there to do? Hysterical in the face of the storm. No worries, we are waterproof.
