TODAY'S FLASHSHOT

THE FENCE BUILDER
By J.M. Cinq-Mars

The storm tore the fencing down for the bears and the mountain lions. The zoo sent out notices to all residents.

No need to fear, the notice assured the populace. The animals would be caught and delivered back to the zoo. A new contractor had been hired to put up better fencing.

Otto hunched low beneath his deck, trying to hide. The irony wasn’t lost on him. Had he built the fences the way he said he would, they would have survived the storm. But no, he had cheaped out.

Otto’s scream was muffled by the black bear’s roar.

J.M. Cinq-Mars lives in Massachusetts but prefers Jupiter. She watches the Saw movies to relax. She has been published in Every Day Fiction, Long Story Short, The Legendary, and elsewhere.
