"first trial": a 50-word story written using the freewrite prompt. Humpbuckle Tales 217

[felt.buzz]

Holbert attended his first trial years before he joined the police.
...
A car mounts the pavement, hitting his mother.

The driver, drunk on booze and fear, drives off.

Cradling his mother's head, Holbert recites the licence plate number in time to the sound of her shallow breathing, until help arrives.

...

This is a 50-word story written using @mariannewest's @freewritehouse Freewrite Writing Prompt “first trial”

This is the 217th fifty-word story in the Humpbuckle Tales series. You can find all the tales reblogged on the @humpbuckletales account.

Humpbuckle Tales are 50-word stories that can be read independently, but when read as a whole a bigger story begins to emerge.

I just love the darkness in your writing felt. 😅

Have you ever released something in longer form? A novella or even longer? I would love to read your writing in a longer format. 💯

Thanks!

I've written quite a few short stories and some series that added up to 15-30k And a few years ago I finished NaNoWriMo (write 50k in the month of November https://peakd.com/freewrite/@felt.buzz/the-many-torments-of-tiny-earl-temporary-title-part-one-my-first-freewritemadness--nanowrimo-post-tbxb3ofc). They are all available here on hive.

Here is one of the old series (I think each part has a link to the next one).

Excellent story! I'm so used to horror stories being written like this, I never thought to use it for other writing.
