Hello Hive. 😃 I'm back again with another 100-words microfiction, that is #zapfic100, inspired by the random word prompt "maximum" taken from @felt.buzz's drabble post. If you will like to write microfiction in 100 words, give this challenge a try.
Larry, owner of Rikett Plaza, found a mystery carton placed in front of his store and called the police. He found it strange because the neighbourhood was suburban and quiet.
The patrol police radioed in the location and bomb squad was sent to the scene. Seargent Cassie Durant geared up and rode with her team to the scene.
A crime scene tape was curled around the plaza while few residents stood, watching from a distance.
"Talk to me, Gary," Cassie asked the Bomb Squad leader.
"Its an IED designed to cause the maximum amount of damage but we've deactivated it."
Thanks for reading!
