The year is 1978. The scene? A packed disco on a hot summer night. Music is pounding, bodies are close together and sweaty, and everyone seems to be having the time of their life…on the surface. Something bad is going on, though. Sinister looking men spread around the exits…a worried looking man at the bar…and then the music comes to a sudden stop.
What is happening? Does the crowd have any idea? Who is your character among the chaos?
Give us 100 words in the comments, or blog about it and let us know where to find it

Liz Says:
There’s a fugitive in the disco. He recognises the men and curses the barman for turning snitch. Knowing he’s dead unless he takes action, he grabs the nearest gorgeous brunette and holds her to him harshly. Her scream repels the crowd and he drags her towards the exit. The fugitive knows the men have sworn not to harm a female, he is allowed past unharmed. On getting outside he hails a cab. He gets in, leaving the terrified young woman on the pavement, and disappears into the night. He is determined to prove his innocence before they find him again.
