A Wanted Man

Thrifty Words 100 Challenge #15: Heroes And Heroines

Big Ed has just drifted off to sleep when Rana starts screaming. He scrounges under the bed until he’s awake enough to remember that in this new life, he doesn’t have a gun.

He feels naked in more ways than one as he rushes into the bathroom.

“What’s wrong, babe?”

She points to the wall.

He wants to tell her he’s relieved it’s just a spider, but that would lead to a conversation he’s not ready to have. Instead, he uses cardboard to relocate it outside.

“My hero,” she says, smiling.

Nobody’s ever called him that before.

He smiles too.
