The greedy woman started to walk out of the store, and Dennis shouted, “WAIT!”
She turned, a look of disdain marring hard-worn features. Dennis sighed. “I’ll get more money.” He pulled out his debit card. “I’ll just buy something from Larry, and get some cash back.”
He hurried to grab something and knocked over a counter-display. “Dude!” Larry said.
He hated what he was about to do, but the weight of Helen’s insulin hung heavy in his pocket. When Larry bent over to clean up, Dennis leaned across the counter, reaching for the revolver he knew the owner kept there.
Chain Writing Game is back! Created by Kerrie Salsac at Writing For Life, a group of writers get together to create a story, 100 words at a time. You get three turns at story-telling, but must wait for three entries before you post again after the first. This week we’re going to 30 entries before Kerrie wraps the tale with nice tidy bow and we move on. Join in the fun! If you’re on Facebook, check out The Chain Writing Game page.
Hope you enjoy and can’t wait to see where we go!
Happy Reading and writing!

oooh. I like that. Grab the gun. As you say – desperation. It makes you do things you wouldn’t normally do.
Indeed. Now to see where he goes next 😀
I am looking forward to it. Kerrie is a genius doing this 🙂
Oh oh, a gun and desperation are not a good mix! Great add on.
Thanks! No those two things rarely end up well for a person. I think Dennis is going to jail sometime in the future at the least, but we’ll see!
Well depends on how the story goes, we shall see, should be interesting.
Ha! Don’t mind my guesses, I do it with everything (drives my wife nuts 😉 ). Loved your addition!
Thanks! Mystery upon mystery is always a good thing. I do the same thing with guesses. haha! 🙂
Oh dear, Dennis what have you gotten yourself into!
Thanks Al, I love being referred to as a genius 😛
Don’t do it, Dennis!…too late. Oy vey. The water is coming to a boil really fast. Way to turn up the heat!
Yeah, I figured a sleazy shop he was familiar with, he knows where the “safety” measures are located. Add that to a diabetic wife and a hooker extorting him. I didn’t think he could resist 😉
Yeah, it’s easy to see it once it happens. It makes a lot of sense, and it’s also great drama.
Yeah Dennis, get the gun and make the nasty woman talk!
That’s exactly what I thought when I wrote it!
Dennis has been watching to much law and order. I don;t know if this can possibly end well for anyone.
Dennis is a quick thinker good input.
