How do you write 100 word stories? #76

Many folk with ADD have, I think I’ll have some breakfast, wow there are deer on the lawn, where did I put my keys, I’ll look for them in the fridge then asked how do you tom write a 100 word story

It might seem over obvious but 100 word stories need a strong setting. You don’t have the luxury of pages of description. You got five to ten words to imply genre, epoch, and location. Think of these few words as the equivalent of sprinters starting blocks. You need a firm grounding if you’re going to cover 100 yards in 15 seconds. Your opening can signal that the setting is merely two people talking. That the surroundings actually have little effect on the tale. My favorite setting is a greasy-spoon near closing time a young couple and an army of zombies.
