A little while back I had a piece of writing posted on a website for a Horror Under a Hundred theme. The writing had to consist of 100 words. I liked the restrictions of this format so much I am co-opting it for my own. Periodically, I will be posting a Tiny Little Dispatch of horror, fantasy or science fiction. I am doing this because I think it will be fun, but also to provide fodder for this blog. I hope you readers out there enjoy it as well. Who knows, maybe one or two of these will become a future novel, film or short story?

“Bob?”

Jake dropped his gear and ran. He tripped over a leg or branch and tumbled into a withered creek.
“Ouch-”
