Silencer Problem

My second attempt at 55-word fiction.











Praful kicked his bike’s tyre in frustration.

“Sorry, Vandu. Our first date ruined by a stupid...”

“It’s okay,” Vandu said with a smile.

An old man passing by asked, “What seems to be the problem, bud? Help ya with anythin’?”

“Silencer,” Praful mumbled.

The old man whipped out a swiss knife and slashed Vandu’s throat.

    1. One should always keep hope. Or perhaps, 'a billion hopes'? :]
