New In Town
100-word short story
The random word is act
Sumner looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was neat, his clothes clean and his gun was properly holstered.
His promotion had taken him to a new town. He arrived late last night.
First day on the job and he knew exactly how he needed to act.
He checked his watch. The glass needed replacing.
“Morning, Detective Sumner.”
He nodded as he looked down at the dead body at the scene.
She looked younger in the daylight.
No one noticed him retrieving the broken watch face.
He knew this case would never be solved. He’d make sure of it.
