100 Word Challenge
My husband lifts his bruised fingers with glimmering jewelry and money.
"They're invading France, they will find this soon enough. Where would we hide it all?"
"Is under the bed -"
"It's too obvious."
I pluck up an ancient velvet box and stalk over to a laundry basket stuffed with fading clothes worn from work, find a rusty key. Then striding over to the white painted closet I open it with the key, there lay a gleaming safe.
"Here."

Hi Katherine,
ReplyDeleteBrilliant story! You used lots of interesting adjectives which really helped set the scene. I also liked your use of dialogue. You made it very obvious as to which character was saying what without disrupting the flow of the story.
I assume this story is set during the German invasion of France in the WWII. The Nazis stole lots of gold and jewellery from people all over Europe, especially from Jewish people. If so, well done on using a historical setting.
Keep up the good work,
