Tag, a 100 word story

Everything was finally quiet after the party. The fireplace kept the house warm and the living room lit. Finally, there was time to sit and relax. A moment of quiet before going to bed. The vodka was cool and tasted slightly sweet.

Outside it was still snowing. Michael closed his eyes and leaned back into the couch. A chill ran through him as a metallic click sounded near him. Opening his eyes he saw the muzzle of a gun. The woman holding it had a scarred face. “Brenda?” he stammered.

Brenda smiled, “Tag, you're it.”

He never heard the shot.
