The Meat Grinder, a 100 word story

"Seriously? You're going to take him out on the boat tomorrow?" The boat is a fishing trawler. This jackass needed to be fired.

"Did I say that? I did not say that."

John wasn't even a good employee. What did he do to get a day out when it isn't even fishing season? "I'm missing something. Explain it to me."

"You are not entitled to explanations"

I am not one to just walk away. "Right, whatever." Leaving the fishing docks feels uncomfortable tonight. Like I'm being followed, y'know, hunted.

"What the!? Who are you?" There was no answer. I heard the sound of the meat grinder we used to make chum.

"You never learned to stop. Like a dog worrying at a bone."
