2024 The Beginning of the End by DragonSkulls
75 Word Flash writing prompt entry

 
 
We had a Microsoft mishap a couple days ago that
shut nearly everything in our county down.
 
I told my friend it was most likely China or Russia
practicing. "That's all it'll take, shut our grid system
down and we'll end up killing 'ourselves' for either food
or water. No need for war, we'll kill ourselves."

"That's just nonsense," he mocked.
 
 
 
 
 
Two weeks later, our country went dark and that's when
history claimed...America fell.
 
 
 
 


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 know, believe me, it sucks. All I can say is...be prepared, it's coming.

I added the kid in the picture myself.
