Please join the @freewritehouse and @felt.buzz for this week's edition of the weekly challenge to write a story in 240 characters. Find the post HERE and take a look at the inventive ways that fellow freewriters come up with ways to create a unique fiction story in a very concise fashion. This week's prompt is Waiting.

Sweaty fists gripped tight around the bat handle as I stand behind the door.

Stumbling footsteps coming closer.
Feeling the fear gnawing at my gut.
I smell the stale reek of smoke and booze.
Waiting for my daily beating, this time I'm prepared.

Okay... so this was seriously intense.

You managed to compress what could possibly be a whole chapter of tension into 240 characters. Well done!

Very Brilliant. Hopefully the narrator truly is fully prepared.

Thanks, @zeraton! I love the challenge of getting the most drama out of the fewest characters.
And I hope she got in the most swings with that bat and then gets the heck out of that situation for good.

Excellent use of the prompt to build tension and tell a complete story within the narrow character limit. Thoroughly enjoyed this @blueeyes8960. You captured the emotive response well. My heart was pounding alongside that of your protagonist, willing her to succeed. !PIZZA !ALIVE

Scary!!
I hope she gets him and gets away

Me too, I think it's his turn for a beat down!

Oh, this is good! Yes, a bat handle will definitely send the message of 'enough is enough'!

You did great capturing this intense story in 240 characters. ☺️
