Did You See That?
By Teresa Smeigh 2019
Dangling from a tree on a tropical island was certainly not his idea. Don and George had talked him into being the watch guy for them and to keep a lookout while they searched for the treasure they had buried out in the water under a rock. He had a few signals he had learned to let them know if anyone was around.
John was hidden in the tree and the guys were just scuba diving out front. Someone came down the path and briefly stopped. John signaled don’t come out. Thankfully the guy moved on. No intervention was needed.

Lucky escape for the guy, by the sounds of it.

Yes indeed. If he had lingered there would have been problems for him.

I’m glad the guy didn’t see anything. I’m not sure they would have dealt with him in a friendly way.

I would say they probably did, but things can go wrong at the drop of the bucket. That cell phone I missed could have cause him to be distracted for all we know.

You know what they say about thieves. LOL! I can’t, but wait, it is there is no honor among thieves.

What kind of treasure? Where did they get it? Why did they have to hide it? Did they find it? Did someone get killed?
So many questions 🙂

You almost have 100 words in questions LOL! That’s the problem with flash fiction limited to 100 words. It is hard to fully answer so many questions that you allude to in the story.
