Short story

[ryai458]

I wrote a short story for school a couple days ago and thought i'd share it with my good friends at the Escapist.

If I had been told I would be making a multimillion deal with an African warlord six months ago I wouldn?t of believed it. Though here I am thirty miles from where I?m going to meet this guy. Just a couple more minutes and I leave.
Just one month ago I was able to bribe an official and get my hands on a manifest and route a ship was taking. The official, and me, had no idea this ship was filled with high-end military weapons headed for Israel. Rockets, missiles, assault rifles, artillery, the types of things that makes a man very rich. Once I figured out what was on the ship I made some calls and a meeting was set up between this warlord and me.
As I saw the other car driving towards me I checked for the folder, it was there. I didn?t even know if I was going to live through this transaction, but that?s the risk you take with this kind of money. I came to a stop twenty feet from their car; I stepped out of my car. From the other cars driver side came a man with a briefcase, from the passenger side came the warlord himself. It was strange he was making this deal himself, but if you want something done right do it yourself, is the appropriate cliché. As we made the transaction he made some vivid threats, then handed me the briefcase. Fifteen million now the other half once he got the cargo, although I doubted I?d ever see that money. After we got back into our cars and after only a minute or two I heard an explosion, when I looked behind me instead of the other car all I saw was a fireball. After a minute or so of myself not exploding I laughed, and thought to myself that, I guess I wouldn?t see that other fifteen million after all.

Thats it feel free to post your own stories too.

for school i was supposed to be writing several different things omniscient, first person, and limited omniscient and this was my first person i'll post my omniscient even though it wasnt as good.


The mission starts at 0730; we plan on having the UAV over the target at 0800. As the drone took off of the small dirt runway it headed east, towards the African country we will leave unnamed. By 0750 the drone was at sixteen thousand feet and about two thirds of the way to the target location. The drone reached the location and started circling above it.
After fifteen minutes the drones cameras spotted two cars coming up a road one from the north and the other from the south. When the cars met two people got out of one vehicle and one out of the other, the first man out of the car had a briefcase the second man was identified as the target. The man from the other vehicle handed them a folder he was given the briefcase. Both parties seemed satisfied and got back in there cars. The drone stopped circling and began following the targets vehicle. The drone fired one rocket into the car destroying it then headed back to base.
