Enrich that Rush

Financial hardship started this journey of acquiring others identities. Since James passed we no long need the funds but with nothing to lose we enrich ourselves by indulging the adrenaline rush.

There is no sick child to rush home for … and although we haven’t verbalised it we simply don’t have the courage to try for another child. The sickness and then the loss rocked our core.

Try telling that to the courts or law enforcement people! Without the fear we have become most adept at what we’re doing. Numbing our social conscience is essential to our core business.

Carrot Ranch Challenge, January 10, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that includes the idea of enrichment. Use many of its different manifestations or explore reasons why it matters to the character. Go where the prompt leads.

This is the much requested sequel to my last 99 word challenge The Rush

  2. Yay the sequel…i love how you moved forward by providing a flashback recount of why your characters were like that.
    Your technique of building up your charaters’ character is very intriguing..
