Jack looked up startled. 'What?'
A tall youth in a black hoodie blocked his path. Two others lingered to one side.
'You got a light?'
'Nah, sorry, don't smoke.' Jack aimed for a gap between the adolescents.
'How about a wallet then?' The youth placed a hand on Jack's chest.
'Ah, come on lads. There's no need ...'
The first blow landed from behind, followed by a kick to his legs. Jack tumbled forward.
'Fat fool!' The tall youth threw a couple of punches.
Jack landed hard, covered his head and prayed it would soon end.

Oh, you can tell right from the start that this isn't going to be a good night for Jack. Really well done, Rob!
Rob – A very nice drabble. Vivid images, sharp dialogue, and all in 100 words. Well done.
