Here’s my first ever entry into the Trifecta Writing Challenge!
The aim of the game is:
1) to tell a short (and they mean short) story in 33 words
2) to use a predetermined word in that same short story.
Today’s story prompt is brought to you by the word “worm”, as in “to worm something out of someone”.
Are you ready? ‘Cause here we go!
Regret
I taste metal on the air and my fingers are slick and red. He’s still. Cold. I have sinned, Lord. Why…why did you allow me to finally worm the truth from him?
Novel Metropolis 
This gave me chills. Creepy, but in a good way.
Thank you!
Love your dark and chilly take on the prompt
Ally 🙂
Thank you! I don’t know why that ‘s the first place I went :p
Sometimes the truth is more than can be barred.
It really is.
Powerful 33- creepy and chilling, great take!
Glad you liked it 😉
A perfect little tale. Why or what doesn’t even matter, just the regret.
Thanks for stopping by and your kind comment 🙂
Interesting – what would have happened if the narrator had *not* managed to worm the truth out of him? It might have gone worse… Great, gory little piece.
Oh! And welcome to Trifecta! It’s a great place – hope to see more of you!
Thanks Christine! I’m looking forward to doing it again 🙂
