100 word challenge -Stranger, By: Danielle

“Where Are The Shops?”

“Mom, I’m going to go bike riding.” I tell her.

“Ok April, don’t go to the shops, there has been a lot of, uh, let's say bad things.” My Mom says.

1 hour later…

It's getting a bit dark, but the sun is still out. I wonder what bad stuff is happening down at the shops? 

“Hi.” This stranger comes up to me and says.

“Uh, hi. Can I help you?” I say.

“Where are the shops?” it says, panting. All of his clothes are torn up. He was just running from something I think...

“Downtown.”

“Show me.”
“Sure.” I guide him downtown. I’m not going into the shops.

“Here you go.” I tell him.

“Thank you, April.”
