Welcome to The Spot Writers.
August’s prompt is to use these five words in a story or poem: besides, fishes, inn, owing, born.
Today’s post comes from Phil Yeats. Last December, Phil
(using his Alan Kemister pen name) published his most recent novel. Tilting at Windmills, the
second in the Barrettsport Mysteries
series of soft-boiled police detective stories set in an imaginary Nova Scotia
coastal community is available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Tilting-Windmills-Barrettsport-Mysteries-Book-ebook/dp/B07L5WR948/
Fair Treatment?
by Phil Yeats
I sat in the country inn waiting for my
co-conspirators. Did anyone besides me harbour doubts about our plans
for the evening? Our target was beyond redemption, a privileged individual born
to wealth but no more than a petty criminal, a conman owing money to
everyone. And his latest scheme, if it succeeded, would destroy the town and impoverish
all its citizens. We’d exhausted all other options, but was it right that
tonight he would sleep with the fishes?
