Rochelle Wisoff-Fields at Friday Fictioneers has given us another wonderful picture prompt to dazzle you with our 100 word stories. I have, drum roll and big surprise, chosen another Carolyn snippet to take your breath and keep your attention. Make sure and peek at my website’s Carolyn page for the rest of the story part as well as the longer one (6 parts as of now) that I am concocting for submission at a later date. As for now, my brief entry to FF is below. Click > HERE < for the rest of the stories. Enjoy!!!

More than Just a Splinter
By Scott L Vannatter – 100 words
Carolyn, eyes not quite over the tears of the recent past, broke the glass pane in the door of the workshop. It was quite cold out and she needed somewhere to stay the night. Since, now, it was only her, the eyes began again, she was not as picky and hoped the wood shop would provide something other than just a place to sleep.
Walking in, her eyes first centered on the saws and blades and other tools scattered about. She could see this place had been active in its day.
Noises in the other room brought her to the moment.

Namaste,

Really intriguing and scary too – I hope it’s not a big varmint. Well, you really did leave a cliff-hanger hear and I like it – Now, tell me (you don’t have to tell the rest) but what is in the other room? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won’t tell!

Well, to tell you the truth, what you truly need to do is to go to my blog, then go to Carolyn’s page (off to the left) and read at the bottom, the other 7 parts of the story. I have just gotten to this exact spot, so read to catch up, then next Tuesday, I will put in part 8 (there should be a total of 9 parts) and that should answer your question. Oh, and I would love to have you critique the story and let me know. Thanks.

You’re specialising in cliff-hangers these days, and I’m well and truly hung.

Looking at Carolyn as a character, humor hasn’t suited her so far, Perry, but maybe…

I have a feeling these tools weren’t used for anything good. I’m so glad the title wasn’t “More than just a sphincter” which is what I thought I saw!! 🙂 LOL.

Not quite the play on words I was going for!
If you have read any of the other Carolyn adventures, the dangers in the workshop might be more apparent.
