100 Word Wednesdays – Police Blotter Stories – The Rumble

Here’s another 100 word story based on an item in the police blotter of my hometown paper.

The Rumble

By Grant Baciocco

Carmine glared at Sampson.  Then he glared down at the floor.  Then back up at Sampson.

“You’re going to need to clean that up.” Carmine said firmly.

“I will do nothing of the sort.  You made the mess, you clean it up.” Sampson retorted.

Carmine grabbed his cane and pointed the end of it in Sampson’s face.  “You made the mess, YOU clean it up!”

Sampson swatted the cane tip out of his face. “What are you going to do if I don’t.”

Carmine was up out of his seat and moving towards Sampson.

“Brawl! Brawl!” the other resident’s chanted.

1100 block of Trousdale Drive, 9:02 p.m. Thursday Police mediated an argument at a care facility over spilled milk.
