The Planet Killer
Anything was better than what was to come.
A Drabble is a work of fiction of exactly 100 words, no more, no less. So please stick around for 30 seconds so Medium can see it’s been read. Any claps, highlights, and comments are greatly appreciated.
This prompt is from A Drabble a Day 58: The Return of the Drabble by Grim Flandango in The Fiction Writer’s Den. The word today is SALVATION.
They had exactly two hours to pack and make it onto the plane that led to their salvation. Andy grabbed their luggage while his wife gathered keepsakes and photo albums. They were given so little direction as to what to bring. So, they both haphazardly stuffed each bag to its breaking point.
The streets were utter chaos. And once on the plane both of them breathed in a deep sigh of relief. They had no idea where they were going or how long they would stay. But anything had to be better than the smoldering ash slowly covering the planet.
Thank you for reading. I’d love to hear your responses.
