Ha, I unearthed a 100 word story I did for the prompt "simplicity", so, I guess that qualifies for today's #WordWeavers as well:
The captain wielded his rapier. “It’s your cargo or your life!”
“Be my guest.” I made an inviting gesture.
Ten sinister looking pirates entered my ship. I leaned against the mast and waited for them to re-appear from the lower decks.
“What kind of devilry is that?” the captain shouted. “There isn’t even a rat on this godforsaken barge. What are you transporting?”
I smiled. “The greatest treasure in the world.”
“What? We didn’t find anything.”
“Exactly.”
“Are you trying to fool us? If there isn’t one damn thing on board – what should be that treasure, then?”
“Simplicity,” I replied.
