Prompt 2:
Setting: Under a Bush
Character: A Great Dane
Object: A Magnifying Glass
Scavaging the Truth
Maggie found a loophole in the scavenger hunt rules. It said you couldn’t work with another person, not a dog. So, Scooby, her massive Great Dane with a nose for snooping was already sniffing under the bushes in front of the school. She felt like she had a real chance to find the last item on the list.
Scooby began to dig and unearthed something. Pulling out a bone with his mouth, Maggie felt disappointed that it wasn’t the magnifying glass. She didn’t think much of it until she saw it was a hand still wearing a diamond ring. (99 words)
One response to “Flash Fiction: Scavaging the Truth”
Wonderful. The split infinitive towards the end wrong-footed me for a moment but didn’t ruin the denouement. Loved the phrase a nose for snooping .
