Molly's Predicament

A one hundred word story


Molly was clipping her toe nails when she cut her foot. The blood came out dark and surprisingly quick. Molly hobbled over to the bathroom, trailing blood behind her. Sitting in the bathtub so she wouldn't get blood everywhere, Molly tried to stop the bleeding. She applied pressure and even a floss tourniquet, but nothing worked. After watching the blood drip for forty minutes, Molly began to feel tired; she fell asleep.

Molly's husband found her dead the next morning, only he couldn’t tell she had bled to death; all the blood from her foot had leaked down the drain.

One of my writing prompts is "write a one hundred word story." I guess people bleeding to death was the only good thing that came to mind.
