He had made all his calculations. He had also kidnapped the
care taker. He looked like just another guy on the street. Nothing was suspicious about him. He took advantage of being almost invisible and slowly entered the old clock tower.
He went
down the spiral stairs. He knew every nook of this clock tower.
He didn’t have much time. He placed his booty at the
pendulum and hurried to connect it to the gears.
He gave a mean smile and said “Today, while the world
celebrates its new year at 12am. When this clock strikes 12….it will be BOOM”
He walked away.
The world woke up to the news "BOMB BLAST AT CENTRAL CLOCK TOWER"

What an eerie piece!! You built the suspense well and now I'll never be able to go near a clock tower at midnight again!
ReplyDeleteTry going to the clock tower, am sure this is just a fiction.
DeleteI hope actually that this is a fiction though
Thanks for dropping by and Happy New year Jessie
What a way to start the new year off with a bang. I like the way you draw the reader in to make them care what he is up to. This is a great addition to the fold.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dobson
DeleteI wish this never happens anywhere though
Happy New year :-)
Good one. Maybe he's upset because people actually see him as invisible. LOL. (Get it?) Couldn't resist that one!
ReplyDeleteWoah!This is a way drastic step for being visible...
DeleteWell....I hope no one does anything like this for visibility
Thanks for dropping by Caerlynn :-) Happy New year
Great take on the prompt, well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Iain :-)
DeleteGreat take :) I thought about a clock, or a mill of some sort.
ReplyDeleteI don't know but the inside of the clock struck me first when I saw this picture.
DeleteThanks for dropping by Linda

Wonder why he felt the need to blow it up...
ReplyDeleteSome people are crazy...maybe that's why
DeleteThanks for the comment Dale :-)

DeleteThanks for dropping by Dawn :-) Happy New Year
This prompt really does lead to something gruesome and diabolical, doesn't it?!! I wasn't too sure what that circular thing was in the middle but went with a wheat grinder. I get a shock every week looking at the prompt not knowing quite how to place it, which is great for my writing as it takes me out of my own domain. Do you find that?
ReplyDeleteThere's definitely a chilling tone to your story, especially with the ease he's accomplished his mission. Let's hope there are a few more check points in the real world.

i do actually echo your sentiments...sometimes i am lost of what is prompt is all about..then i write about the first thing that comes to my mind when I see that picture..maybe that's how this story came up...spine chilling and ruthless
DeleteThanks for dropping by Milly

Frightening that these are our headlines rather than our fictions.
ReplyDeleteOh Yeah....these days every other day there is a news about the blasts...
Deletebad things..eh
Thanks for the comment Joseph :-)
