The severe cold was unexpected. Slader would have never been caught if it hadn't been for the cold. He had planned for every possible contingency but he had not planned for the cold.

He clenched the bars of the prison door. It figures, he thought. Cold bars. Dazed, he slid back on the prison cot as he reached for a tissue. He felt another loud sneeze coming on.

Oh, how he hated having a cold.


Writing Prompt
Can you tell a complete story with just 75 words? That is the challenge of this flash fiction contest. Title not included in word count.

Author Notes
I have always believed that a good story should let the reader fill in the blanks. How was Slader caught?
