The Slave

The Writer's Cramp Contest

During a slave auction, a husband and wife sold a slave and are now transferring him to his new owner.

“Is there anything I need to know about this slave. Any problems?”

The wife’s arms were lightly shaking. The husband took a quick glance at his former slave, then looked at the new owner, “No. He’s perfect.”

The new owner walked up to his slave and ordered him to get into the cart.

When the slave was in the back of a cart, he stared at his previous owners. The new owner went up front and they were on their way.

The slave, while still looking at his previous owners, gave them a bone chilling smile.
