100 words or less - Prompts - Apparatus, Jazz, Deduct
Cyrus stood at the bus stop carefully cradling his latest invention in both arms. Standing behind and to the left of Cyrus, a street person fidgeted and mumbled unintelligibly.
Street Guy shuffled around and faced Cyrus. “What’s with the jazzy gizmo bub?”
Cyrus’ face contorted as he stepped back. “Sir, this is a carefully constructed scientific
apparatus. Deduct forethought and purpose
and what you end up with is something created by accident and happy mishap. That would be your jazzy gizmo.”
“I guess there’s no point small
talking is there?” Street Guy pulled a
knife out. “Give me your wallet.”
