‘What we need is a cool head, James. He could sink us.’
‘We’re already sinking; that’s why I hired him.’
A paper ball hit the back of Colin’s head.
‘Nobody’s sinking.’
The man in the doorway was barely five feet tall.
‘You.’
‘You’re not going to welcome your saviour?’
‘You’re certifiable!’
‘Maybe. But I can get you out of this mess.’
A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words.
