KEEPING IT ZIPPED - 100 word story

I looked at this week's Friday Fictioneers photo prompt and sighed. What do I know about New Mexico? It took me a while to find an angle. I'd be interested to know what you think of my effort.

KEEPING IT ZIPPED

Badger and Mickey are proper scary dudes.

Many stories about them are fabrication, but some are the god's honest truth. And we're talking seriously bloody bone chilling stories.

There's a rumour about Chunky, hideous enough to give you nightmares. Dismemberment is one thing, but did they really make Chunky do those other things?

But the shop is shut. Chunky hasn't been seen for weeks and his wife is walking around like she's got the devil sitting on her shoulder.

I don't show curiosity. Word gets around. Speculating could trigger Badger and Mickey to come a-calling, so I keep it zipped.

I hope you enjoyed this story and I look forward to your comments.

ILLICIT - 100 word story

Here's my Friday Fictioneers photo prompt story. I thought the building looked quite institutional, hence my subject matter.

ILLICIT

'Wait under my window. I'll throw it down.' Spider cradled his forbidden phone.

'Why don't I come and pick it up?' said JJ.

'You crazy?'

'Well.'

'How the hell would you get on my floor, JJ?'

'Um.'

'I'm in the Secure Wing, idiot.'

'Oh, yeah.'

'Look, you're allowed in the garden. Go outside after dinner. I'll throw it down.'

'Okay.' JJ was about to hang up. 'Uh, Spider, I don't know which window is yours.'

Spider sighed. 'I'll hang it on the outside of my window. Don't forget.'

'Okay.'

JJ tucked his phone away. Within minutes, he'd forgotten the conversation.

I hope you enjoyed this story and I look forward to your comments.
