Dan flicked the switch. Current ran up the long wire.

There was a massive explosion. The building dissolved into dust, the safe crashed five floors to the ground below. Pound notes fluttered down after it.

“A bit too much TNT, Dan,” said Bob.

I managed to hit exactly 240 characters again 😁

For any of my friends (or anyone else, for that matter !) who reads this and fancies giving it a try, it's really fun and thought provoking. The rules are really simple;

  • The Freewriters Community has a Zapfic post with a writing prompt every Monday
  • Your response must be posted within 3 days in the Freewriters Community.
  • Please post a link to your entry in the comments section of the prompt post
  • Please use #freewritehouse and #zapfic tags.
  • The important one - YOU MUST use a word/character counter (if you search for word counter on the internet or in your phone's app store you will get a big choice!) wordcounter.net and include a screenshot. Entries without a screenshot will NOT be valid.
  • Please use the prompt provided as you see fit (use your imagination)
  • Try to tell a complete story if you can!
  • The story should only be up to 240 characters long (including spaces, punctuation etc).

Thank you ! They are thieves indeed, but comically amateurish ones. Who uses dynamite to open a safe ? I once saw a locksmith with a stethoscope open a vault with twin dial-type combination locks in less than 60 seconds. It was impressive, the guy was a true artist 😁 Also, he wasn't a robber, the locks had been reset out of alignment and we had to get an expert in to fix it.
