"You lose."
She pressed the button.

PPS. Don't forget the Power of Tension Blogfest I'm hosting next week with Cally Jackson!

Wonderful! I've never heard the term Drabble before. 100 words is tough, but this is really good. Thanks for sharing.
Ooh, drabble! Nicely done! I got to the end and was all "Nooo, I don't want her to die!" and at the same time "SHE ROCKS AS SHE'S DYING!"
Nice that you could make me think that in so few words. :D
Love it! :)
