NYCMidnight Microfiction 250 - 2023 Round 2

 This was my entry into round 2, having progressed this far via the "Local Knowledge" story. The prompt for this was much harder, and even spending a lot more time on it, I couldn't get this to a state I was happy with. It did not go down anywhere near as well, and I didn't progress to round 3.

NYCMidnight Microfiction (250 Words) January 2023

This was my first ever NYC Midnight fiction entry. 250 words is a lot less than you think once you start writing, as a result of which I'm really impressed with the people who do well at the Microfiction 100 word variant. This one did pretty well - I came third in my group, and progressed to round 2, where I pretty much bombed with my "Indiana Jones-esque" tale of archeology, theft and murder. I'll add that if I can find it.

Written for the NYCMidnight Flash Fiction challenge 2023. My writing prompts for this round were:

Genre: Horror

There was a word limit of 1000 words. I used every one, but I've tweaked a few since. This one didn't do so well, though I got some good feedback.
