Ten.

The device is set into place.

Nine.

All personnel are cleared from the area.

Eight.

Breaths are held.

Seven.

The incendiary device is lit.

Six.

It sizzles and goes out.

Five.

Relit.

Four.

It shoots into the air, destination unknown.

Three.

Widened eyes follow it into the sky.

Two.

It reaches its target…

One.

…and explodes in a dull burst of color.

“Aww, man!”

Duo stared up at the sky and groaned. He shoved a handful of popcorn into his mouth and leaned back. It seemed that time already did its dirty work on the old fireworks he found.

In a worst case scenario, both Oz and the Gundam Pilots have proven that they can cover their asses this week with 10 points each.  White Fang, however, seems to have no contingency plans and thus receive no points.

 

Your prompt this week is #2 – Countdown.

 

Space shuttles, explosives, microwave dinners, time in prison, vacation time – no matter what the characters are counting down to - write it in just 100 words.
