This short story was written following some advice I was given about overcoming Writer's Block. You pick some random words out of your head or from a book/newspaper or whatever and assign a number to each word. I chose about 20 words and decided to use 8 or 9 of them for my story.  You can  choose them by putting the numbers in a jar and randomly picking some out, or ask someone else to say some numbers between 1 and 20.    Once you have your words you can use some or all of them to build your story.  I found this advice very useful and determined to use all the words, even if the story seems a bit forced at times.  Anyway, thank you for bearing with me so far.
I decided to write about a woman who obviously has too  much time on her hands.  Sarah is quick to find fault with everything and is judgemental of other people.  The appearance of a new postman to the area certainly set her off!
The words I drew to build the story are:
strong
postman
beard
car park
recorded
steal
feast
businessman
shoot

~ AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/164434193X ~ She hated riding the subway. It was cramped, smelled, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable to sit on for hours on end. Now add a group of crazy mask-wearing, weapon-wielding, maniacs to the ever growing list of reasons why Gemma hated riding the subway. Gemma Conners is your average eighteen year old and for the past two years she's been riding the subway to and from school with no problem. She always expected the same ol' same ol'. Cramped spaces, hard seats, and perverts staring her up and down and "accidentally" bumping into her and blaming it on the train as it jostled people into one another. Never did she expect a group of masked men to rush in and hold everyone onboard hostage, demanding that they all play along with their sick and twisted idea of a "game". It was either that or die. To add on to her ever growing list of problems, one of the passengers onboard just so happens to be Archer Daniels, your typical high school "heartthrob" and Gemma's classmate. Her day just kept getting better and better. With Gemma's luck, she'd be lucky if she lasted five minutes. Yep. She really hated the subway. *Book Cover Credit: Irah Marie* Thanks again for making such an AMAZING cover!❤️
