Waiting for a review
Waiting
by Macsween
I can't I leave?
Why? The front door isn't locked. Even if it was I have keys. I'm alone in a dark room, the only light coming from the computer screen. The light casts an eerie glow over the keyboard, the thing imprisoning me in this world of darkness and despair. I dare not lift my fingers from the faded keys. I wait and wait, occasionally flicking in and out of pages, praying, hoping for something: a little illuminated box to be precise.
"Oh why oh why hasn't my last post had any reviews?"

Writing Prompt In 100 words, or less, write a short story--not necessarily a flash-fiction, though it could be--on the theme/subject/topic of 'prisoner'. It could be literal or metaphoric. |
