100-word story
The Enthusiastic Samaritan
by LisaMay
"Oh, no! How terrible! I must help!" Janie exclaimed.
Driving past, she spotted the man lying face down on the footpath. He wasn't moving.
Janie was eager to offer assistance. Just this morning she had gained her First Aid certificate and was primed to deal with heart attacks and strokes. Quickly parking her car, Janie rushed to the aid of her emergency patient. With trepidation, she knelt by his side.
"Can you hear me? Can you hear me?"
"Sure can, lady," said the utility worker, rising to his feet after replacing the manhole cover. He'd only been checking a drain.
