Dinner Party | A 100 Word Story

#348 National Poetry Month – 30 Days 30 Poems

She watched them all from a distance
A host preparing her final speech
To tell her guests about a murder
Happening before the feast.

They all were chosen quite specifically
For the deeds they’d done in life
And the crimes they have committed
None of them would leave alive.

She made her way to the center of the room
And held up a glass prepared to clink
But her action was cut short
By the spilling of a drink.

The distraction caused a stir,
All the guests very much unaware
Of their fates as yet announced
Everyone had better beware.
