A Drabble is a 100-word story. I do enjoy the creativity of the Random Word Challenge. Why not join the fun?

Today’s twister is to finish Poet In The Arctic’s story linked below.

“What are you hiding, stranger?” you asked me in the twilight bar. “Come on, nothing shocks me,” Lucy says.

Would you like to know? Can you handle it, sweetheart?

Lucy,” I say, smiling, my icy steel-blue eyes masking my true desire. “It’s in the eyes. Can’t you read what I’m hiding?

“Ah, Stranger Boy. You haven’t looked at my shapely legs. You look me straight in the eye.”

Yes?” I ask, oh, so, innocently.

“You have sexy cool eyes,” Lucy purred. “Wanna have some fun in the dark alley?”

Oh yeah,” I say. I’ll enjoy your slow death throes.
