Over the Fence to Freedom [50 Word Story]

in fiftywords •  6 years ago 

Frank climbed the prison fence. He draped his coat over the barbwire and leapt down. In the forest, dog barks pierced through the trees. He ran far and swam a river towards freedom.

A cottage—lights on. A violent grin.

Fresh victims for Frank. They wouldn’t catch him this time.


Hope you enjoyed my entry for @jayna's fifty word challenge with the prompt fence.

I can't imagine he'll stay out of prison long, at that rate ;) Wicked little twist!

Thank you @lazarus-wist :)

Oh my gosh, this is so creepy! Very well done, @cizzo. Note to self: Never move to a cottage near a prison!

Thank you @jayna.
He did run pretty far but yes, location location location :)

lol and here I was rooting for him at first! He just had to go and be a murderer didn't he? Very well done :)

Thank you @blueteddy :)
