Please join the @freewritehouse and @felt.buzz for this week's edition of the weekly challenge to write a story in 240 characters. Find the post HERE and take a look at the inventive ways that fellow freewriters come up with ways to create a unique fiction story in a very concise fashion. This week's prompt is Waiting.

Sweaty fists gripped tight around the bat handle as I stand behind the door.

Stumbling footsteps coming closer.
Feeling the fear gnawing at my gut.
I smell the stale reek of smoke and booze.
Waiting for my daily beating, this time I'm prepared.

Yes, give it a try! And they have one as well on Friday's that's 50 words.

Excellent use of the prompt to build tension and tell a complete story within the narrow character limit. Thoroughly enjoyed this @blueeyes8960. You captured the emotive response well. My heart was pounding alongside that of your protagonist, willing her to succeed. !PIZZA !ALIVE

Thanks @samsmith1971 and thanks for the pizza!

Scary!!
I hope she gets him and gets away

Me too, I think it's his turn for a beat down!

Oh, this is good! Yes, a bat handle will definitely send the message of 'enough is enough'!

You did great capturing this intense story in 240 characters. ☺️

Thanks @kemmyb, hope she got in some good licks then gets the heck out.

Okay... so this was seriously intense.

You managed to compress what could possibly be a whole chapter of tension into 240 characters. Well done!

Very Brilliant. Hopefully the narrator truly is fully prepared.

Thanks, @zeraton! I love the challenge of getting the most drama out of the fewest characters.
And I hope she got in the most swings with that bat and then gets the heck out of that situation for good.

PIZZA!
