Day 203: The Gold Tooth

Here is the story that I submitted to the NYC Midnight 100-Word Micro Fiction Challenge!

Hope you like it. Mr. T-Roy Cozy helped a lot with the idea!

The Gold Tooth

The man with the Gold Tooth sprinted through the jungle. Chopped leaves and broken branches left a trail to the cave. I flicked my lighter. Like a scared rat, he hunkered himself into a corner.

“Give it to me.”

“Please,” he begged.

“You know I don’t ask twice.” I tossed him a pair of pliers.

The man, with tears streaming down his face, popped that tooth out!

“Aah!” the classroom screams.

“And that’s the story of how I got this.” I smile. “What did we learn today?”

The principal’s eyes are wide as the children state, “You don’t ask twice.”
