The Chase

I did a happy ending version of my depressing 99 word entry I submitted yesterday.

Have to start somewhere with the “fun bit” @ calmkate 😉

The challenge:

In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about what happens next to a stranded suitcase. Go where the prompt leads you, but consider the different perspectives you can take to tell the tale.

 

The Chase

In the stillness, a sudden noise from the horns of a train erupted in the tunnel, followed by a blinding light. Out came the man running for his life. About 20 meters into the tunnel he had second thoughts that were immediately confirmed by an oncoming train chasing the man back out of the tunnel.
But his case was gone already, while his life was found again. Exhausted, he sat by the side of the tracks, feeling the guilt of almost having involved an innocent train driver into an involuntary act. New hope and the chase for life began.

      Well put!

      I also was playing with words there “the case of a man” is also “the case of a man”.

      And since it is 31.0718 the case is closed now 😉
