Random word: 152 “subject”

“Fortunately, the cabin is insured, so don’t worry about that. But what about my manuscript?” Charlie added showing some concern.

“Don’t stress Charlie. I saved it to the Cloud, and also an external hard drive which I took with me. I am afraid your hand-written draft wasn’t so lucky.”

“Well, that is a relief at least. Let’s head over to your Uncle Bert’s shack and try to work out which one of us was the subject of the arson attack. I just learned that Chef Jamie Ramsay has had his appeal upheld and been released pending a new trial.”

Most of my previous drabbles have been published at Fiction Shorts but as I have fallen so far behind, I am publishing most now under my own profile. I am still using the daily random words kindly provided by Nancy Oglesby.
