Wednesday Words – 100 Word Police Blotter Story – Dear Sir

Here’s another 100 word story based on a police blotter item from Burlingame, CA.  My quaint hometown.

Dear Sir
By Grant Baciocco

Dear Sir,

We have recently been made aware of your actions last Friday as it relates to Ms. Adams.  We understand that Ms. Adams did bump into you causing you to roll out into oncoming traffic.  We have been advised that she apologized for this and we do believe she is truly sorry.

While we understand that this situation made you quite frustrated, we feel that your actions in retaliation were not appropriate.  We would like to strongly suggest that you modify your behavior in the future if you wish to continue visiting our city.

Yours,

The Burlingame City Council

Wednesday Words – 100 Word Police Blotter Story – Escape

Happy Wednesday!

Here’s another 100 word story based off an item in the police blotter from my hometown of Burlingame, CA.  Enjoy!

Escape
By Grant Baciocco

Terry realized his first mistake was leaving the kitchen door open. He’d opened the door to enjoy the early morning summer weather and now it had escaped. He ran into the backyard, it was empty. It was then he realized his second mistake, not reminding the gardner to close the gate.
In the front yard, he looked down the street to the west. Nothing. He looked to the east, towards the intersection that lead downtown. There he saw it just crossing the street, against the light. He ran. If it reached the stores, he’d never be able to find it.
