Week 8 - Write a 3 Haiku and 50 word story

Quite a simple little assignment in which we were required to write a 3-line haiku (short poem consisting of 5, 7, 5 syllables), absolute piece of piss and then, in part two, we had to write a story of only 50 words, no more, no less.

So here they are:

Part 1. - 3 Haiku

Walking down the stairs
Falling on a razor wire
Bones break with a crash


Part 2. - 50 Word Story

I slipped on a pair of industrial gloves and picked up the corrosive acid. Using a metal syringe I sucked up a small amount and walked towards my victim with a smile on my face. As I stood above him and pushed the plunger he released an ear-splitting scream.

* A quick word of note here: I kind of cheated in this one as this was a very small extract of something I'm surrently writing. However, this extract is heavily edited and nowhere near as long as the original which I would have put in had we more words.

**********

As mentioned, I'm still working on my story and currently on 783 words with an approximate aim of around 2000. I've got the next part in my head, just need to write it down now. Keep checking this space.
